For every fixed ε > 0, we give a sampling algorithm using at most $C_\varepsilon d^\varepsilon$ exact first-order queries on every execution for C 2 potentials on ℝ d with a known minimizer and Hessian between I d and $2I_d$. The output has total-variation distance at most 1/10 from the target Gibbs law. Computation between queries is unrestricted. We also prove an $\Omega(\log d)$ query lower bound for arbitrary randomized adaptive algorithms, determining the optimal dimension exponent to be zero.
