The real bottleneck isn’t models. It’s unstructured data. I saw a side-by-side demo that made this obvious: → Raw data environment
• lower accuracy
• higher risk
• inefficient outputs → Metadata-enriched environment
• better decisions
• faster results
• measurable

AI Conductor Model Uses RL to Automate Prompt Engineering
By
–
For the past few years, humans have been doing “prompt engineering” to coax the best performance out of different LLMs. In this work, we explored what happens if we train an AI to do that job instead. By training a Conductor model with RL, we found that it naturally learns to

Introducing our new work: “Learning to Orchestrate Agents in Natural Language with the Conductor” accepted at #ICLR2026 https://
arxiv.org/abs/2512.04388 What if we trained an AI not to solve problems directly, but to act as a manager that delegates tasks to a diverse team of other AIs? -
