Stop Making Models Bigger, Make Them Behave — Kobie Crawdord, Snorkel
Snorkel argues model improvement should come from high-quality, expert-in-the-loop data rather than scaling model size.
“starting from the research-backed work that Snorkel's been doing since its inception.”
A Snorkel developer advocate opened a talk titled 'Stop Making Models Bigger, Make Them Behave,' framing the company as a 'Frontier AI Data Lab' that uses expert-in-the-loop processes to produce high-quality datasets for top labs. The premise—that data quality, not raw scale, drives model improvement—is a relevant industry signal, but the available transcript is mostly introductory filler and cuts off before the core argument or evidence is presented.
