Can Table Modeling Scale? Rethinking Tree Models in the Age of Massive Compute

The article examines how the dramatic increase in GPU compute power—illustrated by a single H100 GPU equaling about 200 Hadoop instances—challenges the dominance of tree‑based models for structured data, presents scaling‑law experiments with KMLP and FOUND, and argues that pre‑training can redefine the balance between compute, data, and algorithms.
