Spotlight - Remyx AI
Streamlining AI experiments with application-aware tools
Developers face many challenges when building production-grade applications with foundation models. From data curation and design to model training, deployment, and evaluation, there are many steps to establishing a high-quality baseline model that can be improved over the application's lifetime.
Facing these challenges firsthand, we built the Remyx Studio to accelerate the ML development process. Remyx uses your use case context to help design more effective experiments. It offers tools for evaluating and ranking model fitness, expanding datasets from a small set of examples, simplifying fine-tuning, deployment, and more. Learn more here.
Spotlight - Labelbox Leaderboards
Announcing the Labelbox leaderboards: an innovative and scientific process for ranking multimodal AI models that goes beyond conventional benchmarks.
Labelbox leaderboards rank and quantify subjective AI model outputs using real human experts and a rigorous process that delivers detailed feature-level metrics and multiple ratings.
Leaderboards are now available for Image Generation, Speech Generation, and Video Generation models.
Check out the leaderboards today and contact Labelbox if there are specific models you’d like to be included in future assessments.
