## Quote — verbatim

> This paradigm shift is a game changer for training, and I think accelerated our AGI timeline significantly, because now we broke the data challenge.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On R1's two-model setup (a reasoning model generating synthetic data to train the actual model); he compares it to protein folding and self-driving simulation data.
