Key points: limited GPU memory, effective batch size, gradient stability. Reasoning should connect these without exposing internal deliberation.</|thinking|>\n\n<|actual_response|>Gradient accumulation allows multiple smaller batches to be processed before performing an optimization step. This simulates a larger effective batch size, improving gradient stability and convergence when hardware memory limits prevent using large batches directly.</|actual_response|>""}]",""
