Going In Deep On Data | YC Paper Club

影片總結

YC Data Club explains expert data, Snorkel benchmarks, Inception’s 1,000-token Mercury 2, and multilingual scaling.

At YC Data Club, Francois Chaubard argues that data—not model architecture or GPUs—is AI’s central bottleneck, citing more than $100 billion in market-cap creation and production failures caused by distribution shifts. Snorkel’s Vincent Sunn Chen presents expert supervision as software and introduces Senior SWE Bench, where Fable, Opus, and Soul tied for first on “tasteful pass.” Inception Labs’ Volo Kuleshov explains diffusion language models, with Mercury 2 exceeding 1,000 tokens per second and improving Mercury 2.5 accuracy by over 23% after training on synthesized real-world RL environments. Shayne Longpre’s ATLAS study finds Thai has only 0.6% as many tokens as English in MADLAD-400; cross-language transfer depends on measured synergies, script, model size, and data quality—not language family alone.
