YC speakers argue expert data is the AI bottleneck, while Mercury 2 reaches 1,000 tokens per second and multilingual models need measured language mixes.
At YC Paper Club, Francois Chaubard argued that curated, up-to-date data—not model architecture or GPUs—is increasingly the AI bottleneck, noting that data businesses have generated over $100 billion in market capitalization. Snorkel’s Vincent Chen showed how expert knowledge can be encoded as software and introduced Senior SWE-bench, which evaluates coding agents on realistic tasks and measures “tasteful” engineering; Fable, Opus, and Soul were tied for first. Inception Labs’ Volo Kuleshov said its diffusion-based Mercury 2 models generate more than 1,000 tokens per second, and described Data Forge, which synthesizes training and evaluation environments from real-world interactions. Finally, Shane Longpre presented multilingual scaling research: Thai has just 0.6% as many tokens as English in one corpus, and language transfer can be asymmetric. His team’s measured scaling laws help select data mixtures, model sizes, and training strategies.
