The Chinchilla scaling laws give you a minimum for the number of tokens you should be using for a given size: if you can't meet what they suggest for that size, you should shrink the size, as, otherwise, the capacity of the model is going to waste.

I do agree that it is a datapoint, but GP's point is that this model was undertrained, so it's hard to draw the same conclusions from it that we would from other research.
