    Ilya Sutskever warns pre-training is ending as AI hits 'peak data'

    OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever just made a rare public appearance at NeurIPS, declaring that AI has officially achieved "peak data." Comparing human web data to finite fossil fuels, he warned traditional pre-training is nearing its end. Future breakthroughs, he argued, will rely on truly reasoning and agentic models rather than mass scraping.
