Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Labelbox
Developer tool
Foundry runs third-party foundation models over data already in Labelbox to pre-label and enrich image, text and document datasets without code, routing the predictions to human review; billed as inference cost per model run plus Labelbox Units.
Platform
Horizon supplies RL training gyms and evaluations for reasoning, tool use and computer use, using WorldSim to simulate enterprise environments such as GitLab, Jira, CRM, email and chat and to produce calibrated reward and preference signals for post-training.
RunPod
Developer tool
A catalog of templates, models and open-source AI apps that can be forked and deployed onto Runpod Serverless in one click.
Platform
Brings customer-owned or rented GPU hardware under Runpod's console, CLI and APIs as a single control plane, with Runpod cloud used for overflow capacity.
No counterpart
Labelbox sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for RunPod yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Annotate is the data labeling product within Labelbox, providing 10+ built-in editors for multimodal chat, LLM evaluation, prompt/response generation, computer vision and NLP, plus customizable labeling and review workflows and team performance monitoring.
Catalog is Labelbox's data curation and search product providing out-of-the-box search across images, text, video, conversations and documents over metadata, vector embeddings and annotations without building your own vector database infrastructure.
Agent platform
Labelbox's reinforcement-learning platform for developing, evaluating and deploying enterprise specialist agents, connecting RL environments, evaluation systems and a training loop that fine-tunes models from graded rollout trajectories.
Data service
Alignerr is Labelbox's expert-network product that routes AI training and evaluation tasks to credentialed contributors across 200+ knowledge domains and 40+ countries and returns structured outputs for RL training, RLHF and evaluation workflows.
Terra is Labelbox's robotics data product delivering video, trajectories and multimodal annotations across pre-training, post-training and evaluation stages, including expert teleoperation with action labels and multiple camera perspectives for embodied foundation models.
RunPod sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Labelbox yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Infrastructure service
Per-hour GPU pods and per-hour serverless endpoints across both datacentre accelerators and consumer cards, sold on price — the company's own claim is compute up to 90% below traditional cloud providers.
Multi-node GPU environments with high-speed InfiniBand interconnect for distributed training and large batch workloads.
Autoscaling GPU API endpoints for AI inference, billed per second with scale-to-zero and sub-200ms cold starts.
Model API
Instant API access to pre-deployed third-party AI models for image, video, audio and text generation, billed per request or per token with no infrastructure setup.
