How much do your model evaluation services cost?
Our pricing is transparent and highly competitive, tailored to the specific complexity of your evaluation needs. For instance, Red Teaming is priced at exactly $8/eval, while specialized evaluations like Math Capabilities are $12/eval and Defensive Coding is $15/eval. We provide clear, predictable costs based on the exact domain expertise required to audit your model.
What is the typical turnaround time for a comprehensive model evaluation?
Turnaround times vary by volume, but our elastic workforce ensures rapid delivery. A typical comprehensive baseline evaluation sweep takes just 2 to 3 weeks to complete. Because our globally distributed network of experts operates continuously, we can quickly scale to meet aggressive pre-launch deadlines for major foundation model releases.
Which modalities and data formats do you evaluate?
We evaluate a comprehensive range of modalities beyond just text, including Image, Video, 3D/4D Point Clouds, and LiDAR + Camera fusion data. Outputs are delivered in your preferred format, such as JSON, JSONL, Parquet, or specialized formats for multimodal systems, all facilitated through our powerful Abaka Forge platform.
How do you guarantee the accuracy of your model evaluations?
We ensure 99% accuracy by deploying a multi-layered quality assurance process. Instead of utilizing generic crowd-workers, we assign scholar-grade experts verified in specific domains like mathematics or medicine. We combine this high-tier human intelligence with objective benchmarks and cross-validation techniques to capture complex errors that automated metrics miss.
Is my proprietary model data kept secure during the evaluation process?
Absolutely. We strictly adhere to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA standards. Your evaluations take place in segregated secure pipelines bound by rigorous NDAs. We ensure complete data privacy, and because we are self-funded, there is zero risk of your intellectual property being repurposed or shared.
Do you offer model evaluation services for non-English languages?
Yes, our workforce consists of millions of specialized annotators and evaluators distributed across more than 50 countries. This allows us to provide highly localized, culturally aware evaluations for multilingual chatbots, translation models, and region-specific agentic workflows, assessing both linguistic accuracy and localized sentiment.
How does Abaka AI differ from other model evaluation competitors?
Unlike other platforms that rely heavily on unvetted gig workers, Abaka AI focuses exclusively on trustworthy human intelligence and scholar-grade expertise. We have been a profitable, self-funded partner since 2019, meaning we never build models that compete with you, and we offer a comprehensive 6-dimensional evaluation framework.
How do you handle changes or updates to evaluation rubrics mid-project?
We understand that evaluation parameters often shift during the model iteration cycle. Our dedicated project managers allow for flexible, iterative adjustments to safety rubrics and prompt injection strategies. We continuously calibrate our human evaluators to align with your updated guidelines without severely impacting delivery timelines.
Can we conduct a pilot evaluation before committing to a massive red teaming sweep?
Yes, we highly encourage pilot testing. A typical engagement begins with a smaller, highly focused evaluation batch during Day 0–3. This pilot phase allows us to align our matrix with your expectations, calibrate our scholars, and prove the exceptional quality of our audits before scaling up to full production.
Who owns the output data generated during the model evaluation?
You maintain 100% ownership of all evaluation data, benchmark reports, and custom rubrics generated during the project. Your data is exclusively yours—we guarantee full IP provenance with 0% copyright risk, and we never resell, share, or repurpose your datasets to train internal models.
What tools do your experts use to evaluate foundation models?
Our teams leverage Abaka Forge, our proprietary, all-in-one data and annotation platform. This tool is designed specifically for complex tasks like RLHF, red teaming, and multimodal evaluation. It features built-in large-model automation to speed up workflows up to 50x while maintaining strict security.
Is there a minimum volume requirement to use your model evaluation services?
We support AI teams of all sizes, from ambitious frontier labs to established enterprise organizations. While we are built for massive elastic scalability, we can structure custom engagements for highly specialized, lower-volume evaluation sweeps, especially when rigorous domain expertise in niche scientific or legal fields is required.
