"There is no posttraining data commons" and why that matters for open models
OpenAthena's argument: pretraining runs on a huge public commons of documents, but posttraining (especially agentic RL) consumes tasks, and there's no shared pile of those. So open models fall further behind exactly where frontier labs are investing most. Anyone here contributed to open task/environment datasets? What would actually make people share them?
