Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

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.

ZEISS

Platform

ZEISS arivis CloudPlatform

A cloud platform trains AI models for microscopy image analysis.

No counterpart

Toloka sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for ZEISS yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

AI agent

TendemAI 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.

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.

ZEISS sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Application

ZADD SegmentationApplication

App for ZEISS INSPECT X-Ray that detects, segments and evaluates defects in industrial CT scans with pre-trained or customised AI models, including on noisy scans with artifacts.

ZEISS CIRRUS PathFinderApplication

Deep-learning support tool built into ZEISS CIRRUS OCT devices that reviews macular OCT scans and flags the B-scans that may need closer review, such as subretinal or intraretinal fluid and retinal pigment epithelium changes, and can be switched off when not wanted.

ZEISS Microscopy CopilotApplication

An AI assistant advises users on microscopy experiment planning and image acquisition setup.

ZEISS Surgery OptimizerApplication

Cloud application for cataract surgeons that stores surgical videos exported from ZEISS CALLISTO eye, arranges them in a case library with biometry and device data, and uses an AI segmentation algorithm to give surgeon and clinic performance dashboards and step-by-step review.

ZEISS ZEN AI ToolkitApplication

A licensed ZEN toolkit provides image denoising, segmentation, object classification and model training.

ZEISS ZEN coreApplication

Microscopy software for acquiring images, analysing samples and managing results across ZEISS light and electron microscopes, with AI-based segmentation and classification that users train in the software with no programming, plus an image database and industrial analysis workflows.

ZEISS arivis HubApplication

Software that scales image analysis pipelines.

ZEISS arivis ProApplication

An image analysis application supports visualization pipelines and AI model training.
