How much does terminal evaluation and dataset annotation cost?
We provide highly competitive and transparent pricing based on the complexity of the tasks. For rigorous terminal environment testing, our LLM Math/Coding annotators operate at $18/hr. If you require specialized model evaluation, our Defensive Coding audits cost $15/eval, and Red Teaming is available at $8/eval. Utilizing the Abaka Forge platform requires credits at just $0.20 USD each.
What is the typical turnaround time for an evaluation project based on the terminal bench paper?
Speed without compromising quality is a core advantage. Most initial pilots and environment configurations are completed within Days 0–3. For large-scale data annotation and complex multi-step trajectory collections, we consistently deliver high-volume, validated batches within 2–3 weeks, leveraging our 1M+ annotators and Abaka Forge's large-model automation.
What modalities and formats are supported for terminal interaction data?
We support a comprehensive array of modalities essential for modern agent training. This includes Text for bash logs, LLM RLHF for trajectory ranking, and Image for visual CLI verification. Our outputs are highly flexible and can be delivered in formats such as JSON, JSONL, Parquet, and CSV, all directly integrated via the Abaka Forge platform.
How do you ensure accuracy in highly technical command-line evaluations?
We achieve a 99% accuracy rate by assigning terminal evaluation tasks exclusively to domain-specific experts, such as professional software engineers and computer science scholars. Furthermore, we employ a rigorous 6-dimensional evaluation framework and human-in-the-loop review processes to verify every line of syntax and logical reasoning step.
How secure are your terminal evaluation environments?
Security is foundational to our operations. We maintain strict compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA. All evaluation projects are executed within segregated, secure pipelines, and every member of our network is bound by strict NDAs to protect your proprietary agent architecture and data.
Can you evaluate agents in multilingual terminal environments?
Yes, our network encompasses over one million vertically specialized annotators distributed across more than 50 countries. This global footprint allows us to evaluate terminal agents and NLP interactions in a wide variety of languages, ensuring your models are globally robust and culturally aligned.
How does Abaka AI differ from other data annotation platforms?
Unlike competitors who rely on unverified crowdsourcing or compete with you by training their own AI, Abaka is a dedicated, trustworthy data partner for frontier AI. We are self-funded, profitable, and focused entirely on providing scholar-grade human intelligence. We guarantee 0% copyright risk and never repurpose or resell your datasets.
How do you handle change requests or shifts in evaluation criteria?
We utilize a highly agile, weekly continuous alignment model. Because evaluating complex terminal agents is an iterative process, we conduct regular review cycles to recalibrate edge cases, update software packages, and adjust our rubrics to account for model drift and evolving research objectives.
Do you offer pilot programs for new evaluation frameworks?
Absolutely. We encourage starting with a targeted pilot phase. Over the first few days, we collaborate with your team to define the terminal environment and evaluation scope. This allows you to validate our scholar-grade data quality and system integration before scaling up to larger volume pipelines.
Who owns the data generated during the evaluation process?
You maintain absolute ownership of all generated data. We provide full IP provenance, ensuring there is zero copyright risk in your pipelines. Your evaluation data, agent trajectories, and red-teaming logs are exclusively yours and are never shared, resold, or used for internal Abaka model training.
What tools do you use to capture and evaluate terminal interactions?
We utilize Abaka Forge, our proprietary all-in-one platform for collection, cleaning, annotation, and training. It supports all critical data types and integrates large-model automation to speed up workflows by 50x. Additionally, we deploy on-demand custom capture pods for precise, timestamped real-world data collection.
Is there a minimum project size for engaging your specialized annotators?
While we support massive scaling for frontier model labs, we also accommodate smaller, highly specialized evaluation batches. Our flexible engagement models—spanning project-based, long-term, and on-site staff augmentation—ensure that teams of all sizes can access the human intelligence needed to operationalize the terminal bench paper.
