Many-shot ICL can perform comparably to
ASupervised fine-tuning on the same task data
BReinforcement learning with explicit reward shaping
CA separately pretrained model with twice the params
DRetrieval augmentation over the training corpus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Supervised fine-tuning on the same task data
Section 4.3 shows many-shot ICL is competitive with supervised fine-tuning on the same data — but without weight updates and with one model snapshot serving many tasks.
