while most of the training is relying on public web data, big tech companies are building huge private datasets manually created by experts to tune the models to answer requests and do agentic stuff, and that’s becoming very valuable for companies and AI training in general. Are leaks of those data or weights already a thing? that would allow to get great open source models, without all that export drama… And probabily there are people out there that would pay for that stuff…
is AI data leaks a thing?

I think the real value isn't in leaked data—it's in proprietary workflows and continuously updated datasets. Even if a snapshot leaks, it becomes outdated quickly. Companies usually gain their edge from the ongoing data pipeline rather than a single dataset.

Leaks are not a think yet, mostly because even if you could get them, nobody has the immense amount of money to run them who couldn't just develop it themselves (better to avoid getting sued).

The dataset is only half the story the curation process is probably worth even more than the raw data itself.

Leaks happen and is almost impossible to avoid as all enthernet have vulnerabilities ...... However the real value is not the raw data but the workflow of those AI models
