Worth tracking for the data side of multimodal frontier models, where the quality and shape of training mixtures strongly determine what large systems can actually do.

One of the more useful people to study for the Gemini era because his work spans both the text-core of multimodal frontier models and the optimization tricks that make those systems cheaper and more stable to train.
4 sources
A high-signal researcher for understanding the modern scaling playbook, especially around compute-optimal training, retrieval-augmented language models, and the text side of Gemini-era multimodal systems.
