💎Autodata: an agentic data scientist to create high quality data✨

We introduce a method for building agents that create high-quality training & evaluation data.

Key idea: agentic data creation provides a way to *convert increased inference compute into higher quality model training*.

We show how to train (meta-optimize) such a data scientist agent, so that it can create even stronger data.

Our initial study with a specific practical implementation, Agentic Self-Instruct, shows strong gains on scientific reasoning problems compared to classical synthetic dataset creation methods.

Overall, we believe this direction has the potential to change how we build AI data!
