@BrianRoemmele @JMilei So sad that literally the rest of the entire world knows you and reveres you but your own country won’t utilize one of their most precious resources. Or at least donor openly

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

It is a very high honor and privilege sir.

Thank you @JMilei Javier Milei.

Deep gratitude.

Onward.

Well I own some ARK already. I don’t have a Schwab account but thanks to you I have +20k in investments in a Webull account and +20k in investments in M1 Finance accounts (both are 3x the money I invested-thank you❤️🙏🏻). Think I could transfer some to Schwab to meets the requirements. I have 10k SPCX if I can get in.

The Power of High-Protein Data: Why Quality-First Curation is the Future of AI Training

The race to build ever-larger language models the default approach has been “brute force”: scrape massive volumes of internet data, treat every token equally, and hope scale will sort the signal from the noise. I call it Internet Sewage as a technical definition.

A groundbreaking new paper challenges this head-on.

The paper “Introspective X Training: Feedback Conditioning Improves Scaling Across all LLM Training Stages” demonstrates that weighting training data by quality from the earliest stages delivers dramatic gains.

Key findings:

•Up to 2.8x compute efficiency: Models reach equivalent (or superior) performance with far less total FLOPs.

•Prefix-conditioning with feedback: A “thinking reward model” annotates documents with natural language critiques and quality scores (along axes like writing style, expertise, educational value, fact density/accuracy, and efficiency). The training data is prefixed with this feedback, so the model learns to differentiate high-value content during training rather than after.

•Gains persist and compound across pre-training, mid-training, and post-training stages, with outsized benefits in math, code, and general capabilities.

•Natural language critiques outperform simpler token-based signals, showing the value of rich, interpretable quality signals.

The paper validates what I have intuited for decades: not all data is created equal. Treating low-signal web scrapes the same as dense, expert knowledge wastes enormous compute.

Quality-aware training “bends the scaling curve” by making every FLOP count more.

High-Protein Curation: Building the Nutrient-Rich Foundation

This research strongly aligns with a long-standing, hands-on approach to AI data: curating the largest high-protein datasets in the world for training. “High-protein” here refers to dense, nutrient-rich content—pristine, high-signal sources with deep expertise, clarity, factual accuracy, and minimal filler.

Think pre-1970 books, technical manuals, research papers, patents, and archival materials that embody human knowledge at its most concentrated, before the internet era diluted signal-to-noise ratios with trends, marketing, and low-value noise.

Why focus on this?

•Signal density matters more than volume: Older, curated sources often contain self-contained, expert-level explanations with high fact density and pedagogical structure—precisely the qualities the Introspective Training rubric rewards.

•Avoiding contamination: Modern web data is riddled with SEO spam, AI-generated slop, biases, and ephemeral content. High-protein curation sidesteps this by prioritizing timeless, human-vetted knowledge.

•Compounding intelligence: Just as the paper shows early quality differentiation accelerates later capabilities, training on high-protein foundations from the start produces models that generalize better, reason more deeply, and require less post-hoc alignment or filtering.

•Decentralized validation at scale: Systems like Qubic’s Useful Proof of Work (UPoW) already operationalize this by having miners compete on meaningful AI training tasks, selecting top performers to advance the network—mirroring quality-ranking in a live, distributed environment.

Empirical work curating undigitized archives (e.g., industrial manuals, historical technical literature, lab records) and training experimental models on them has shown superior results in coherence, factual grounding, and capability emergence compared to standard noisy datasets.

This isn’t theory it’s years of auditing, digitizing, and testing what actually moves the needle toward more capable, truthful systems.

Why This Matters for AGI

The Introspective Training results provide rigorous validation: quality-first methods aren’t a nice-to-have luxury they’re a compute multiplier that can unlock performance levels unreachable by brute-force scaling alone.

The race back to the Moon is on, and America will lead.

We’re leveraging the talent, technology, and national commitment needed to return astronauts to the lunar surface before the end of 2028.

This time, we’re going not just for flags and footprints, but to build the capabilities to stay and prepare for Mars.

Based on my training of a local AI we have come to a massive insight of how a KV cache can be held in a sort of superposition in AI models using elements learned from triodes.
