Reddit was very useful.
I think that PDFs is definitely one.
Especially Archive.
Yeah, so AI2 has run Semantic Scholar for a long time, which is a...
like what you can say is a competitor to Google Scholar with a lot more features.
And to do this, AI2 has found and scraped a lot of PDFs for openly accessible papers that might not be like behind the closed paid garden of a certain publisher.
So like truly open scientific PDFs.
And if you like, you sit on all of these and you process it and you can get value out of it.
And I think that's like,
a lot of that style of work has been done by the frontier labs much earlier.
And it's just like, you need to have a pretty skilled researcher that understands how things change models and they bring it in and they clean it.
And it's, it's a lot of labor that like, I think of a lot of frontier labs when they scale researchers, a lot more goes into data.
You have people like, if you want to be, if you join a frontier lab, you want to have impact.
The best way to do it is just make, find new data.
That's better.
And then like the fancy glamorous algorithmic things like, um,
Figuring out how to make O1 is like the sexiest thought of a scientist.
It's like, oh, I figured out to scale RL.
And there's a group that did that.
But I think most of the contributions is like, I'm going to make the data better or I'm going to make the infrastructure better so that everybody in my team can run experiments 5% faster.
