In large-scale LLM development, the question is no longer simply how much data a model sees. It is also whether the data contains enough structured learning signals. General web, code, math, multilingual, and domain data provide a broad base. Task-seeded synthetic Q&A complements them by adding compact, task-structured examples with a clear information need, a constrained response space, and explanations that connect evidence to an answer. In a 100B-token continuation experiment on the Nemotron-3 Nano model, task-seeded SDG improved MMLU-Pro by +1.8, average code by +1.9, commonsense understanding by +1.6, and GPQA by +11.1, while average math remained stable.
