In X posts, Jenna Russell said Pangram labeled 31% of FineWeb-filtered web tokens as AI-generated in August 2026, up from 10% in June 2024. She said a study of 800 language models found AI tokens lowered loss on human text for data-starved models under about 10 human tokens per parameter, but raised it almost from Ch
