How is pricing structured for your model evaluation services?
Our model evaluation services are priced based on the complexity and domain expertise required for the tasks. For rigorous human-in-the-loop assessments, we offer transparent per-evaluation rates. For example, Defensive Coding assessments are priced at $15/eval, Math Capabilities at $12/eval, Red Teaming at $8/eval, and Creative Writing at $6/eval. This predictable, unit-based pricing allows you to scale your safety audits effectively without unexpected budget overruns.
What is the typical timeline for an evaluation cycle?
Speed is critical in frontier AI development. Standard model evaluation cycles generally take 2 to 3 weeks from initial matrix alignment to the delivery of comprehensive bias and safety reports. For established pipelines, our automated model-as-judge frameworks can process massive volumes of outputs in just days, while targeted human red teaming is integrated continuously via weekly delivery sprints to match your engineering velocity.
Which modalities and data formats do you support?
Our comprehensive model evaluation services cover Text, Image, Video, Audio, 3D/4D Point Cloud, and LiDAR-camera fusion. Utilizing the Abaka Forge platform, we deliver outputs in all standard industry formats, including JSON, CSV, JSONL, and Parquet. We meticulously evaluate multimodal generation and interleaved visual reasoning to perfectly match the exact format requirements of your machine learning team.
How do you ensure accuracy in model evaluations?
We guarantee a strict 99% accuracy threshold through our multi-layer QA processes and scholar-network reviewers. Instead of relying on general crowdsourcing, we deploy subject-matter experts—such as medical professionals or software engineers—who follow detailed alignment rubrics. By blending these human experts with our robust 6-dimension automated framework, we ensure nuanced errors and hallucinations are accurately identified.
What security and compliance measures are in place?
Security is foundational to our operations. Abaka AI is fully SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified. We process all evaluation data through segregated, secure pipelines with strict NDAs in place. Furthermore, our evaluation workflows comply entirely with GDPR and CCPA regulations, providing you with full audit trails and minimizing any compliance risks associated with evaluating sensitive frontier AI models.
Do you offer multilingual model evaluation services?
Yes, we evaluate foundational models across multiple languages. With access to over 1 million vertically specialized annotators across 50+ countries, we can test translation, instruction following, and cultural alignment natively. This global reach ensures your conversational AI and large language models perform consistently and safely, regardless of the target region, dialect, or language.
How does Abaka AI differ from traditional crowd-testing platforms?
Unlike traditional crowd platforms that rely on unskilled labor and generic benchmarks, Abaka AI is a trustworthy data partner tailored specifically for frontier AI. We utilize highly vetted scholar-network experts and a rigorous two-axis LLM evaluation matrix. Furthermore, we are self-funded and completely independent—meaning we never build models that compete with you, and your proprietary architectures remain strictly confidential.
Can we request changes to the evaluation rubrics during a project?
Absolutely. We understand that AI development is highly iterative. Our agile operational model allows you to update alignment guidelines, factuality parameters, or safety rubrics as your model evolves. Our project managers work closely with your engineering teams to seamlessly integrate these change requests into the Abaka Forge platform without disrupting the momentum of your evaluation cycle.
Do you offer pilot programs for new evaluation workflows?
Yes, we highly recommend initiating a pilot program for complex evaluations. During the pilot phase, we process a targeted subset of your model outputs to calibrate our model-as-judge tools and train our human red teamers on your specific alignment requirements. This ensures our 6-dimension evaluation framework accurately meets your quality standards before scaling up to full production volumes.
Who owns the evaluation data and insights generated?
You retain 100% ownership of all evaluation data, red teaming insights, and benchmark reports. Your data is exclusively yours—it is never repurposed, resold, or shared across other client projects. We provide full IP provenance with 0% copyright risk, ensuring that you maintain complete control and legal sovereignty over the outputs used to guardrail and refine your models.
What tooling is used to conduct these evaluations?
All evaluations are conducted through Abaka Forge, our proprietary, all-in-one platform for data collection, cleaning, annotation, and evaluation. Abaka Forge integrates seamlessly with large-model automation to accelerate the model-as-judge pipelines, operating up to 50x faster than traditional tools. Additionally, credits for utilizing the platform's advanced capabilities are highly affordable at just $0.20 USD each.
Is there a minimum project size for your evaluation services?
We support projects of varying scales, from targeted vulnerability assessments to enterprise-wide continuous evaluation pipelines. While there is no strict barrier to entry, our solutions are designed to deliver the most value for organizations requiring high-volume, expert-level human review and automated benchmarking.
