An expert from SnorkelAI stated that scaling expert supervision is the primary bottleneck in frontier data. A core research question is how to efficiently capture and develop expert knowledge (e.g., SMEs, raw artifacts, live exhaust) to build effective evaluation and training data. This insight was shared during Y Combinator's Paper Club, which also covered production diffusion LMs and multilingual scaling laws.
