About the Company
The client is building the future of AI training data on a simple insight: models are what they eat. Much training compute is wasted on data that is already learned, irrelevant or harmful. The client's data curation suite automatically curates and optimizes petabytes of data to produce the best possible training data for deep learning models.
The client has raised a $57.5M Series A.
