Labelbox

Developer tool

Labelbox FoundryDeveloper 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

HorizonPlatform

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.

Weights & Biases

Developer tool

W&B WeaveDeveloper tool

Tracing, evaluation and production monitoring for LLM and agent applications, capturing each call so prompts and outputs can be scored over time.

Platform

W&B ModelsPlatform

Experiment tracking for model training runs, recording hyperparameters, metrics and artifacts so runs can be compared, swept and reproduced.

W&B RegistryPlatform

Curated central repository providing versioning, aliases, lineage tracking and governance for models and datasets across the ML lifecycle.

W&B Serverless RLPlatform

Managed reinforcement-learning fine-tuning service for LLMs on CoreWeave's managed GPU cluster, billed per-token for rollouts with automatic scale-to-zero.

W&B Serverless SFTPlatform

Serverless supervised fine-tuning for LLMs on CoreWeave's managed GPU cluster, run alongside Serverless RL in a unified workflow via the Agent Reinforcement Trainer (ART) API.
