People still underestimate how large the data market will become.
Better models do not reduce demand for data. They increase the number of useful things models can learn.
The frontier keeps moving, so the data has to keep getting harder.

The article argues that serious AI companies are moving from wrapping general models to training their own specialized models using proprietary interaction data, as specialisation now routinely matches or beats frontier models for in-distribution agentic tasks, driving better unit economics.
@Phoenixyin13: This latest blockbuster paper from Meta FAIR aims to tell the AI industry an important bellwether: "Large model data is ushering in the era of intelligent scientists." In this paper, a 4B small model precisely refined by Autodata not only crushes the same-scale models trained with traditional synthetic data on legal reasoning tasks, but also...
Meta FAIR's latest paper proposes the Autodata method, which uses an intelligent data scientist Agent to autonomously generate and optimize high-quality data, enabling a 4B small model to defeat a 397B large model on legal reasoning tasks. This indicates that data quality can bridge the gap in parameter count, providing new insights for data pipelines and scaling.
