ISO 27001 data annotation services for AI and ML teams in regulated industries
Bounding boxes, polygons, segmentation masks, keypoints, landmarks, and classification labels for detection, segmentation, and classification models, with human validation on every batch.
Frame-by-frame boxes, masks, keypoints, and identity-consistent object tracks for detection, tracking, and action-recognition models, validated at the sequence level.
3D cuboids, point cloud segmentation, drivable-area labeling, and object tracking for robotics, autonomous mobility, geospatial, and industrial AI programs.
Text-region labeling, document segmentation, handwriting annotation, structured field extraction, plus LLM evaluation with calibrated rubrics and GenAI alignment data.
The open platform where the machine learning community hosts models, datasets, and AI apps
Search, download, and publish across millions of models and hundreds of thousands of datasets, complete with model cards, versioning, and citations.
Deploy Gradio, Streamlit, or static apps directly from a repository to show off a model, run comparisons, or share a tool with a public link.
Transformers, Diffusers, Datasets, Tokenizers, Accelerate, PEFT, TRL, and smolagents give you end-to-end tooling for training, fine-tuning, and inference.
Inference Providers route a single API to tens of thousands of models from multiple vendors, while Inference Endpoints spin up dedicated GPU hardware on demand.
