I would guess that they need less overall signals for different permutations of knob positions. Or something simplified like min, mid, max or every 2-3 steps or something. Or they capture the effect of the knob being sweeped from 0-10.IIRC he's said their plugins don't have a singular approach to modeling and they change the methods as they develop them, adding in black boxes as they see fit.
He keeps saying this kind of stuff in interviews:
"We record signals for a few hours, and then we train the model on those... On our own servers, it would be four to six hours of recording, and then eight hours of training."
So they can pop out an amp model in 14 hours and it's all automated... Really? Where's all the amp models?
And it's contradictory to the issue of knob permutations that DC himself laid out:
Let's say 7 knobs on an amp, 10 positions per knob. That's 10^7 permutations.
A capture signal on the QC takes ~1 minute. So play a 1 minute signal 10^7 times, that's 7000 days.
How are they getting it done in supposedly 4-6 hours of recording?
In any case they have managed to model pretty complex amps like the JP2C in the QC so whatever they do it clearly does work.
