Tencent

Platform

Tencent Cloud TI PlatformPlatform

Tencent Cloud's platform for training, fine-tuning and serving models.

Data service

Managed distributed vector database for storing, indexing and searching high-dimensional vectors, marketed as an external knowledge base for LLM applications.

Toloka

Platform

Toloka ArenaPlatform

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.

Toloka TrainPlatform

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

Off-the-shelf DatasetsData 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.

Toloka Physical AIData service

Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.

Toloka PlatformData service

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.
