ICYMI, check out our latest results @datologyai.com on curating data for LLMs.

Intervening only on training data, our pipeline can train models faster (7.7x less compute), better (+8.5% performance), and smaller (models half the size outperform by >5%)!

Cloud-Native VMotion is here, and you’ll be able to see it *live* during this talk.
