Human-validated training data and evaluation services for frontier AI models
Chain-of-thought reasoning traces, SME-level RLHF, supervised fine-tuning demonstrations and adversarial red teaming for the most capable models.
Golden trajectories, RL environment design, failure-mode taxonomies and software-engineering-driven deep evaluation for autonomous agents.
Multilingual ASR and conversational speech data, expressive TTS annotation, vision-language model training data, video action labelling and voice-agent evaluation.
LiDAR point-cloud labeling, multi-camera sensor fusion, robot demonstration trajectories, world-model rollouts and embodied interaction logs.
Unified observability, security and incident response for cloud-scale engineering teams
Agents, cloud integrations and OpenTelemetry collectors feed one platform where metrics, distributed traces, profiles and logs can be pivoted between without context switching.
Bits AI, an agent builder and LLM/AI-agent observability help teams triage alerts, explain anomalies and monitor model latency, token spend and agent traces.
Cloud SIEM, cloud security posture management, vulnerability management, workload protection and code scanning correlate threat signals with the telemetry you already collect.
Real user monitoring, session replay, product analytics, synthetic and mobile testing sit alongside CI visibility, test optimization, feature flags and DORA metrics.
