Data Foundry

An operation that manufactures high-quality training and evaluation data at scale, blending human expertise and synthetic generation.

A data foundry treats training data as a manufactured product: pipelines and human experts produce, filter and verify examples — demonstrations, preference labels, RL environments — at scale and to a quality bar. As frontier gains increasingly come from better data rather than bigger models, the foundry becomes core infrastructure rather than a side chore.
