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.
AI governance, testing, and observability for regulated enterprises
Dozens of pre-built evaluations cover quality, safety, security, and performance, with LLM-as-a-judge scorers, session-level metrics, and support for writing your own custom tests against your own data.
Import a repository and run evaluation suites automatically on every change, benchmark each iteration, and block releases when a metric regresses beyond the threshold you define.
Trace every request through multi-step agent workflows, including tool calls and retriever steps, with token counts, latency, cost per request, alerting integrations, and subpopulation analysis.
Register each AI system with an owner, purpose, data sensitivity, and risk tier, score inherent risk across multiple dimensions, and move systems through staged approval gates before they reach production.
