New abilities that suddenly appear when an AI model gets much bigger.
Emergence is like a kid learning words for months. One day they argue bedtime like a tiny lawyer.
It means AI skills do not always grow in a straight line. You see it in large LLMs and Foundation-models, so progress can surprise people.

Scaling-law gives Emergence a size-growth background.
Foundation-model
Bigger Foundation-models make Emergence easier to notice.
AGI
Emergence makes AGI seem like it could cross a sudden ability line.
LLM
Large LLMs can show new Emergence abilities as they grow.
