PredictLM· base-26M
physics simulation (real air-drag)
learns from 600 throws · tested on 60 unseen: PredictLM R²=0.994 · vacuum formula R²=−0.30
No equation. Learned from data.
zero-shot · open · same trick works on real datasets
Illustration: ball flight is a real air-drag physics simulation. PredictLM predicts the landing zero-shot from 600 example throws (never given the physics). Textbook formula = vacuum range, which ignores air resistance.
