How are your LLM data annotation services priced?
Our pricing structure is highly transparent and tailored precisely to the domain expertise required for your specific workflows. For specialized tasks, we offer highly competitive per-hour rates: LLM Math/Coding is priced at exactly $18/hr, STEM Generalist work at $12/hr, and Creative Writing evaluation at $6/eval. Platform credits for Abaka Forge are just $0.20 USD each, ensuring cost-effective scalability for massive RLHF pipelines.
How quickly can you scale up an RLHF pipeline?
We define project scope and source precise domain experts within Day 0–3 of engagement. Following a rigorous 1–2 week calibration and pilot phase within Abaka Forge, we can immediately deploy our massive workforce to scale up. Because we access over one million vertically specialized annotators globally, we can confidently absorb large throughput demands and drastically reduce your overall time-to-market.
What file formats and modalities do your services support?
We support an extensive range of advanced modalities crucial for foundation models. Our teams expertly handle Text, Audio, Video, Image, and interleaved Multimodal structures. Leveraging Abaka Forge, we seamlessly export highly structured data in JSON, JSONL, Parquet, CSV, or custom API formats, ensuring the resulting data integrates flawlessly directly into your specific LLM training architecture.
How do you guarantee accuracy for complex reasoning tasks?
We enforce a strict 99% accuracy standard through rigorous multi-layer QA protocols. Rather than utilizing generic crowd-workers, we source scholar-network professionals, including certified software engineers and mathematicians. Furthermore, we cap individual annotator throughput at a maximum of 500 files per day to prevent fatigue, while large-model automation inside Abaka Forge continuously monitors output quality.
Is my proprietary training data kept secure?
Absolutely. We are fully SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliant. All annotation workflows occur within highly segregated secure pipelines. Our specialized annotators operate under stringent NDAs, preventing unauthorized downloads or sharing. This enterprise-grade security infrastructure entirely mitigates the severe risks of intellectual property theft and unauthorized data leakage.
Can you provide instruction tuning in multiple languages?
Yes, our expansive network covers over 50+ countries, granting you direct access to fluent, native-speaking experts globally. This enables us to generate and evaluate culturally nuanced instruction tuning, precise translation, and highly accurate multilingual sentiment analysis, effectively removing harmful linguistic biases and guaranteeing global readiness for your foundation model.
Why choose Abaka AI over traditional crowdsourcing platforms?
Traditional platforms rely heavily on unqualified labor, resulting in significant quality decay when facing complex STEM or coding logic. Abaka AI is a trustworthy data partner for frontier AI, specifically deploying vertically specialized domain experts. Crucially, we never build proprietary models that compete with our clients, and we guarantee 0% copyright risk on all provided data.
How do you handle changes to annotation guidelines mid-project?
We utilize highly agile, weekly review cycles. If your AI researchers discover new edge cases or need to adjust alignment vectors mid-project, our dedicated project managers quickly update the workflows in Abaka Forge. We immediately recalibrate the global workforce and conduct rapid spot-checks to ensure the new guidelines are flawlessly executed without stalling momentum.
Do you offer a pilot phase before full-scale deployment?
Yes, we mandate a rigorous pilot phase during Week 1–2 of every engagement. We run small, highly controlled batches through Abaka Forge to allow your internal engineering team to evaluate our baseline quality. We continuously refine the instructions and alignment thresholds until you are completely satisfied, guaranteeing perfection before aggressive scaling.
Who retains ownership of the annotated training datasets?
Your data is exclusively yours. We guarantee complete IP provenance and 0% copyright risk. Abaka AI will never repurpose, resell, or share your proprietary datasets with third parties. Being a completely self-funded and profitable partner, we operate free from VC or acquisition pressure, ensuring your intellectual property remains deeply protected.
Do we need to provide our own annotation software?
No, you do not need external tooling. We provide complete access to Abaka Forge, our proprietary all-in-one platform for collection, cleaning, annotation, and training. It accelerates processing speeds by up to 50x via large-model automation. However, if your internal security requires it, our flexible workforce can seamlessly integrate directly into your custom enterprise platform.
What is the minimum project size you accept?
We architect our LLM data annotation services for ultimate elastic scalability, accommodating everything from small, highly specialized red teaming initiatives to massive, multi-million token RLHF campaigns. Whether you need an ongoing long-term embedded talent team or a short, project-based engagement for a specific fine-tuning task, we match the exact scope of your foundational model.
