How much does a multimodal service provider cost?
Pricing depends entirely on the required modalities and expertise levels. For instance, advanced LLM Math/Coding tasks cost $18/hr, STEM Generalist work runs $12/hr, and Dense Captioning is $6/hr. For autonomous driving pipelines, road lane annotation is $3/km. Pre-built datasets like Stock Images are $0.01/img, and Abaka Forge computing credits are $0.20 each.

How fast can you process multimodal datasets?
We drastically reduce standard turnaround times through the Abaka Forge platform, achieving up to 50x faster processing via sophisticated large-model automation. Pilot projects typically require 1–2 weeks to establish the taxonomy, while large-scale continuous pipelines deliver weekly batches of high-quality, pre-filtered text, video, or 3D data—guaranteeing a massive 70% preprocessing time reduction for your engineering team.
What file formats and modalities do you support?
As a comprehensive multimodal service provider, we seamlessly support every data type needed for frontier AI. This includes rich Text (JSON, CSV), high-resolution Image (JPEG, COCO JSON), complex Video (MP4, Frame Sequences), Audio (WAV, MP3), and highly intricate 3D/4D point clouds and LiDAR sensor fusions (PCD, LAS). All data is aggressively processed and completely secured through our unified ecosystem.
How do you ensure accuracy across different modalities?
We maintain a guaranteed 99% accuracy rate by deploying a rigorous multi-layer QA process and strictly matching complex tasks with specialized scholar-network annotators. Whether you require advanced Lean4 math reasoning or dense video spatial tracking, our elite domain experts and dedicated platform reviewers meticulously validate every single output against your exact custom taxonomy before final delivery.
Is my multimodal data secure during the process?
Absolutely. Your data is exclusively yours and never repurposed, resold, or secretly shared. We operate strictly under ironclad NDAs and continuously maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. All extensive annotation and evaluation work occurs deeply within our fully segregated, secure pipelines to guarantee full IP provenance and an absolute 0% copyright risk.
Do you offer multilingual multimodal capabilities?
Yes. With a highly scalable global network of over 1 million vertically specialized annotators across 50+ countries, we excel at complex multilingual multimodal tasks. We offer extensive global coverage for native Multilingual TTS at $7/hr, as well as highly nuanced text translation, sentiment analysis, and crucial cross-cultural evaluations tailored for international conversational AI deployments.
How does Abaka compare to standard data platforms?
Unlike disjointed crowdsourced platforms that desperately struggle with complex cross-modal alignment, Abaka AI is a specialized, all-in-one data partner for frontier AI. We do not rely on VC funding, meaning we never sacrifice annotation quality for hyper-growth metrics. We consistently provide guaranteed scholar-grade annotators, proven 0% copyright risk, and a rigorous 6-dimension evaluation framework designed strictly for next-generation models.
Can we adjust our taxonomy after the initial pilot?
Yes, extreme agility is key to building successful frontier models. During the pilot and ongoing production phases, our dynamic Abaka Forge platform allows for rapid iteration. If your multimodal service provider requirements suddenly shift—such as adding entirely new LiDAR classifications or expanding video bounding box criteria—we update the central guidelines and instantly retrain our specialized annotators without massive delays.
Can we start with a small pilot project?
Yes, we highly recommend beginning with a structured pilot to aggressively align on custom taxonomy and strict quality standards. Over a dedicated 2-3 week period, we rapidly deploy a specialized team to annotate a highly representative sample of your multimodal data—be it complex text, interleaved images, or dense 3D scenes. This crucial step ensures flawlessly seamless scaling into massive production volumes.
Who actually owns the labeled multimodal data?
You effortlessly retain 100% total ownership of all processed data. Abaka AI is fundamentally a trustworthy data partner; we never independently build models that secretly compete with you, and your vital proprietary data is never resold or utilized to train external systems. We consistently provide complete IP provenance for every securely delivered multimodal dataset.
Do we need our own annotation software tools?
No. You can easily leverage the Abaka Forge platform, our incredibly powerful all-in-one ecosystem explicitly designed for data collection, cleaning, annotation, and model training. It natively handles all data types—from text and complex RLHF to 4D Point Clouds. Alternatively, if you already have highly proprietary tooling, our specialized embedded talent can seamlessly adapt to your unique internal environment.
Is there a minimum volume requirement to start?
We flexibly support projects of all critical sizes, from focused, high-precision model evaluations to massive, continuous multimodal data collection pipelines. While there is intentionally no strict minimum threshold, we collaborate very closely with you to structure engagements that maximize cost-efficiency and firmly ensure you consistently hit your strategic, long-term AI deployment milestones.
