How much does it cost to hire domain experts for AI?
Our pricing is transparent and highly competitive, based strictly on the required expertise. For example, LLM Math/Coding experts are $18/hr, STEM Generalists are $12/hr, Image Editing professionals are $8/hr, and Dense Captioning is $6/hr. We also offer Road Lane annotation at $3/km. You only pay for the specialized human intelligence you consume.
How fast can you deploy specialized AI talent for our project?
We leverage our network of 1M+ professionals to match you with the right experts rapidly. Typically, scoping and talent matching happen within Day 0–3, and full onboarding and calibration are completed by Week 1–2. You can expect high-throughput production to begin within two to three weeks.
What AI modalities and data formats do your experts support?
Our domain experts support every major modality, including Text, LLM RLHF, Image, Video, Audio, 3D/4D Point Cloud, and LiDAR + Camera fusion. We deliver data in all standard output formats such as JSON, COCO, Parquet, and ROSbag, seamlessly adapting to your specific pipeline requirements.
How do you ensure high accuracy with specialized AI tasks?
We strictly hire domain experts for AI—including PhDs, post-docs, and certified professionals—rather than generalists. Combined with a multi-layer QA protocol managed by senior scholar-grade reviewers, this rigorous approach consistently guarantees 99% accuracy across complex reasoning and evaluation tasks.
What security measures protect our proprietary models and data?
We take IP security incredibly seriously. We operate under strict SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. All expert workflows occur within segregated secure pipelines using strict NDAs, guaranteeing full IP provenance and 0% copyright risk on your sensitive training data.
Can your experts handle multilingual and regional nuance?
Yes, our scholar network spans over 50 countries, providing deep linguistic expertise and cultural awareness. Whether you need cross-lingual sentiment analysis or nuanced instruction following evaluation, our native-speaking experts ensure your AI is accurate on a global scale.
How does Abaka AI differ from standard crowdsourcing platforms?
Standard platforms rely on unvetted generalists, resulting in high error rates for complex tasks. Abaka AI is a trustworthy data partner for frontier AI. We provide specialized, scholar-grade domain experts, strict compliance, and a guarantee that we will never build models that compete with you.
Can we adjust our project requirements or scale after starting?
Absolutely. We offer elastic scalability to accommodate changing scopes. If you need to pivot from STEM QA evaluation to defensive coding red-teaming, or if you need to rapidly scale your team size, we can dynamically adjust your dedicated workforce week to week.
Do you offer pilot programs before full deployment?
Yes, we highly recommend a pilot phase. During Week 1–2 of our engagement, we conduct rigorous pilot tasks to calibrate grading rubrics and perfectly align our experts with your proprietary standards before moving into full-scale production.
Who owns the data and evaluations produced by the experts?
You retain 100% ownership of all data, evaluations, and annotations produced by our experts. Your data is exclusively yours—it is never repurposed, resold, or shared across other client projects, ensuring complete protection of your intellectual property.
What platform do your domain experts use to annotate and evaluate?
Our experts utilize Abaka Forge, an all-in-one platform for collection, cleaning, annotation, and training. It supports all data types and utilizes large-model automation to speed up workflows up to 50x. Alternatively, our embedded talent can work directly within your internal tools.
Is there a minimum project size or duration to hire experts?
We offer flexible engagement models, including short-term project-based tasks and long-term embedded staff augmentation. Whether you are running a massive continuous RLHF pipeline or a short, focused red-teaming sprint, we tailor our expert deployment to meet your operational needs.
