LAION drops massive open video dataset with 10 million hours of footage for AI research

29 August 2026 at 09:36

The non-profit organization LAION has released a cleaned-up version of its popular AI training dataset LAION-5B. The new dataset, Re-LAION-5B, is said to be free of links to child sexual abuse material and sets a new safety standard.

LAION's Big Video Dataset (BVD) is one of the largest open video datasets for AI research, with 80 million videos, 10 million hours of runtime, and 55 million auto-described clips. Models trained on BVD beat the previous benchmark, InternVid, by up to 2.1 percentage points. Legally, LAION can likely point to a 2024 Hamburg court ruling that allows collecting copyrighted content for non-commercial research.

KI-Pioneer Sutton calls synthetic data a "big mistake" in the face of an infinitely complex world

Turing Award winner Richard Sutton calls synthetic data a "big mistake" for scaling large language models. The world is infinitely complex, and any simulation of it is "microscopic," with human expertise acting as a bottleneck that blocks real scaling. Sutton's alternative is agents that learn continually from their own experience instead of relying on frozen models.
