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.
Build, train, and deploy computer vision for the physical world
Label thousands of images in minutes using frontier models and custom filters, then curate datasets for training.
Combine detection, tracking, and logic blocks to orchestrate actions, update databases, and connect to industrial systems.
Run high-speed inference in the cloud or on edge devices, processing live video and images wherever the application lives.
Get into production quickly with an agent that sees the world, understands what is happening, and triggers actions.
