Redditor proposes crowdsourced session-data repo to help open LLMs close the frontier gap
kingslayerer · reddit · 2026-10-19
A Reddit user proposes a public repository where contributors dump their LLM sessions, plus browser extensions to automate collection, arguing that since frontier labs ban distillation and open LLMs have limited compute budgets, crowdsourced data is the only path to frontier-level open models. The proposal flags three open problems: privacy controls and anonymization on both user and repository sides, contributor incentives via points and donation revenue sharing, and sustainability through paid downloads of the full dataset with fees split among top contributors and repository upkeep. It remains an idea-gathering post with no implementation details yet.
