AI data outsourcing and the case for vertical AI
One post argues that post-training data isn’t a commodity and predicts suboptimal results from AI labs outsourcing it.
TLDR
A user argues that AI labs’ reluctance to do hands-on data work is creating an industry around outsourced reinforcement-learning data. They predict suboptimal results, saying post-training data is not a commodity and that building environments worth training on requires careful thought. Labs not taking more ownership of that supply chain makes the author more bullish on vertical AI.
