AI labs are buying data from dead startups to train their models

MIT Technology Review 1 week ago 15

AI labs are buying data and code archives from shutdown startups through third-party resale platforms. One deal valued Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy data at $10 million for 100 million emails, 500 million Teams messages, and 176,000 employee records. The market for “death-of-a-startup” data sales is becoming more routine, despite legal and worker-consent concerns and uncertainty over pricing and training effectiveness.

Mix, Don't Tune: Bilingual Pre-Training Outperforms Hyperparameter Search in Data-Constrained Settings

Apple Machine Learning Research 1 week ago 20

Bilingual pre-training experiments found that mixing in an English auxiliary corpus improves low-resource Arabic model training more than aggressive hyperparameter tuning when data is constrained. The study reports mixing boosts validation performance by an amount equivalent to 2–3× the unique target data and improves downstream task accuracy by 2–13×. As a result, the authors recommend prioritizing the mixing ratio (and using high-resource auxiliary data) over hyperparameter search, since target-language validation loss understates mixing’s benefit.
