Build 1P & 3P Data Flywheel Infrastructure
Build scalable systems for ingesting, processing, curating, versioning, and serving first-party and third-party data for pre-training and post-training. Connect model failures, evaluations, and product signals back into targeted data acquisition, generation, and improvement workflows.
Own Data Governance, Security & Compliance Infrastructure
Build governance and policy enforcement directly into the data platform, including:
Build Policy-Aware Data Acquisition & Curation Systems
Develop automated pipelines for 1P and 3P data ingestion, classification, filtering, deduplication, quality scoring, semantic enrichment, and dataset construction.
Make governance policies machine-enforceable so that data can automatically be included, excluded, quarantined, or restricted based on its origin, license, sensitivity, consent, geography, and intended model use.
Build Evaluation-to-Data Feedback Loops
Convert model evaluations and real-world failure signals into actionable data tasks through failure clustering, hard-example mining, long-tail discovery, capability-gap detection, and targeted dataset generation.
Enable rapid iteration from:
Model Failure → Data Gap → Data Intervention → Training → Evaluation
Build Synthetic & AI-Native Data Pipelines
Use LLMs, VLMs, and Agents to automate data generation, labeling, filtering, quality validation, enrichment, and transformation.
Maintain clear provenance between human-created, first-party, third-party, model-generated, and derived data, and enforce appropriate policies across each category.
Build Data Quality, Attribution & Observability
Develop metrics and infrastructure to measure dataset quality, coverage, diversity, contamination, duplication, policy compliance, and contribution to model capability improvements.
Enable researchers to understand which data improves which capabilities and under what governance constraints.
