As of today, the training data the originates from humans represents a vanishingly small portion of the total training. The vast majority of training - how many 9’s is a trade secret - of a frontier model is synthetic RLVR data. That’s how they got good at this.

It’s an increasing portion of training month by month. As of this last summer, pretty much all new GPU hardware is going to a combination of inference and post-training model tuning, generally RLVR.
