## Briefing
- Zenrows: Zenrows outlines how to source clean web data for LLM fine-tuning, warning that a single bad extraction can measurably degrade a small seed set.

## Why it matters
As LLM fine-tuning becomes more accessible, the quality of training data sourced from the web is critical. The guide highlights that standard crawlers often fail against blocking, making specialized extraction tools necessary for reliable seed sets. This underscores the growing intersection between web scraping infrastructure and AI model development.
