## TL;DR

Training-data curation turns raw data into model-ready datasets through filtering, deduplication, quality checks, documentation, and mixture design.

## Core Explanation

The repaired claims focus on three concrete evidence anchors: DataPerf for data-centric evaluation, Dolma for transparent language-model pretraining data, and METRIC for data-quality assessment in medical AI.

## Detailed Analysis

This version avoids broad claims that data always dominates model architecture. That idea can be useful, but public claims need direct study-level evidence for the domain and metric being discussed.
