AI data collection is gathering public web text, images, and metadata to train or ground models, at a volume that ordinary office IPs cannot sustain. Soft blocks — HTTP 200 with a challenge page — poison datasets if you treat them as content. Residential exits reduce that failure mode because the target sees a household ISP, not a cloud ASN. Aethyn Premium covers broad crawls; Elite is for sites that already challenge datacenter and cheap residential. Bandwidth never expires, so a weekend pipeline does not burn a monthly allotment. Respect robots.txt, terms, and personal-data law; proxies are the access layer, not a license to ignore them. How-to pipelines live under solutions; this page is which pool to buy and why.

Premium or Elite for this job?
This use case usually needs Elite — higher-reputation exits plus city and ISP targeting. Premium still works for volume on easier hosts.
Premium for volume. Elite when anti-bot is the job.
