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.
Managed ClickHouse® and tooling to ship real-time analytics features
Write SQL and publish it as low-latency HTTP endpoints, backed by columnar storage and serverless scaling, without managing clusters, sharding or Zookeeper.
Stream events over an HTTP Events API, Kafka, S3, GCS, DynamoDB or URLs in Parquet, CSV and NDJSON, so telemetry, transactions and logs land where you can query them.
Create zero-copy, full-stack environments with production data for testing, and roll out schema changes as safe migrations without taking the system offline.
A CLI plus TypeScript and Python SDKs, along with agent skills and a remote MCP server, let AI coding assistants build and deploy analytics pipelines directly.

Blends custom software with dedicated human expert teams to handle complex operations, but operates as a bespoke service.


The environments frontier AI trains on, and the agents that do the recurring work
Provides enterprise-grade AI training data and model evaluation at massive scale, but often with higher enterprise pricing.
Free / Open-sourceReactive TypeScript backend with database, functions and AI gateway

Delivers advanced multimodal data curation and annotation infrastructure, but requires your own annotation workforce for labeling tasks.
