How much do your AI model training data services cost?
We offer highly transparent, per-hour or per-unit pricing depending on the task complexity. For instance, LLM Math and Coding annotation is $18/hr, STEM Generalist work is $12/hr, and Image Editing is $8/hr. For automated processing via Abaka Forge, credits are just $0.20 USD each. We also offer specific per-unit rates, such as $3/km for road lane annotations and $8/eval for Red Teaming.
How quickly can you scale up a new data annotation project?
Our elastic workforce allows for incredibly rapid scaling. Within Day 0–3, we complete scoping and calibration. By Week 1–2, we integrate your pipeline and begin deployment. We can easily scale up to thousands of highly vetted annotators to handle massive volumes, achieving maximum throughputs of up to 500 files per day per annotator without sacrificing our 99% accuracy guarantee.
What data modalities and output formats do you support?
We offer comprehensive modality coverage including Text, Image, Video, Audio, 3D/4D Point Cloud, LiDAR + Camera fusion, and LLM RLHF. Utilizing the Abaka Forge platform, we deliver in widely accepted output formats such as JSON, JSONL, CSV, XML, Parquet, COCO, YOLO, and ROS Bag, seamlessly integrating into your frontier model's existing training pipeline.
How do you ensure data quality and accuracy?
Quality is our top priority. We employ a rigorous multi-layer QA process, leveraging both model-as-judge automated evaluations and human-in-the-loop verification. By utilizing our scholar-grade network of domain experts for complex tasks, we consistently maintain a 99% accuracy rate. Regular calibration batches and continuous feedback loops ensure your exact guidelines are met flawlessly.
Is my proprietary training data secure?
Absolutely. We adhere to the strictest enterprise security standards, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. All data is processed within fully segregated, secure pipelines. We operate under strict NDAs and guarantee full IP provenance, ensuring there is a 0% copyright risk on collected data and your intellectual property remains protected.
Do you offer multilingual AI model training data services?
Yes, we provide extensive multilingual support. Our global network spans over 50 countries, offering native speakers and trained linguists for highly nuanced text translation, audio transcription, multilingual TTS (at $7/hr), and culturally aware sentiment analysis. This ensures your foundation models perform accurately across diverse global demographics and languages.
Why choose Abaka AI over crowdsourcing platforms?
Unlike standard crowdsourcing platforms that suffer from high error rates and quality decay, Abaka AI acts as a trustworthy data partner for frontier AI. We utilize rigorously vetted, vertically specialized annotators—not random gig workers. Furthermore, we are self-funded and profitable; we never build models that compete with you, ensuring your data is exclusively yours and never resold.
How do you handle changes in annotation guidelines mid-project?
AI development is highly iterative, and we embrace agility. We hold weekly review sessions to analyze edge cases and update guidelines. Because we manage dedicated pods of annotators and utilize the flexible Abaka Forge platform, we can implement fast change requests seamlessly, instantly recalibrating the team without halting your overall project momentum.
Can we run a pilot project before committing to a massive dataset?
Yes, we highly encourage pilot projects. During the initial Scoping & Calibration phase (Day 0–3), we run tailored calibration batches to process a subset of your data. This allows you to evaluate our 99% accuracy, verify the output formatting from Abaka Forge, and ensure our domain experts perfectly understand your specific requirements before scaling up.
Who owns the data once it is collected or annotated?
You retain 100% ownership of all provided and custom-collected data. We guarantee full IP provenance and zero copyright risk. We enforce a strict policy: your data is exclusively yours. It is never repurposed, resold, or shared across other client projects, granting you complete peace of mind over your proprietary AI assets.
Do we need to use our own annotation tools?
No, you do not need to provide your own tooling. We leverage our proprietary Abaka Forge platform, an all-in-one solution for collection, cleaning, annotation, and training. It accelerates processing by up to 50x using large-model automation. However, if you have specialized internal tools, our engineering team can adapt and integrate with your existing infrastructure.
Is there a minimum project size for your data services?
We support projects of all sizes, from highly specialized, low-volume reasoning tasks (like Lean4 mathematics at $15/unit) to massive, multi-petabyte real-world capture deployments. Our elastic scalability means we can start with a targeted subset and seamlessly ramp up to enterprise-scale volumes as your model training requirements grow.
