Synthetic Sciences
AI agent
Open-source AI workbench for scientific research that brings literature, code, experiments, compute and results into one workspace; the company also runs Atlas (infrastructure for autonomous, open science), Ascent (agents that plan and run experiments across a user's compute) and FrontierRSI (an evaluation of agents at autonomous ML research), and its Ace service sells managed model access prepaid and pay as you go.
Toloka
AI agent
A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.
No counterpart
Synthetic Sciences sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
Platform for frontier AI research whose agents survey the literature, draft an experimental plan, run experiments in parallel across the customer's compute, monitor every run and report results, with swarms of agents that hillclimb a metric overnight and a Slack integration for launching and approving runs; access is by request and described as invite-only, no prices published.
Toloka sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Synthetic Sciences yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Platform
An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.
A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.
Data service
Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.
Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.
A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.
