Turing Award winner Richard Sutton calls synthetic data a "big mistake" for scaling large language models. The world is infinitely complex, and any simulation of it is "microscopic," with human expertise acting as a bottleneck that blocks real scaling. Sutton's alternative is agents that learn continually from their own experience instead of relying on frozen models.<br /> The article KI-Pioneer Sutton calls synthetic data a "big mistake" in the face of an infinitely complex world appeared first on The Decoder.

AI engineers often chase performance by scaling up LLM parameters and data, but the trend toward smaller, more efficient, and better-focused models has accelerated. The Phi-4 fine-tuning methodology [...]
Richard Sutton thinks the AI industry’s answer to running out of training data is a mistake, and he has picked a blunt word for it. “ That’s just a big mistake,” he said of the turn to synthet [...]
Turing Award winner Richard Sutton sees a central weakness in conventional generative AI: it can't evaluate its own results. Without that ability, real scientific discovery remains impossible: no [...]
Richard Sutton, 2024 Turing Award winner and co-founder of modern reinforcement learning, has launched a new startup called Oak Lab in Toronto. He calls current deep learning methods "weak and in [...]
