“The rate of progress in AI is accelerating, especially with foundation models,” said Alex Ratner, CEO and co-founder, Snorkel AI. “However, more enterprises than ever before are effectively blocked by the training data needed to adapt models for their specific use cases and production quality requirements. With our data-centric AI platform, we bridge the gap between enterprise AI and the latest innovations. Our market leadership and growth are clear indicators of the value this unlocks for our customers.”

Snorkel AI continued to innovate in 2022 by announcing the general availability of Snorkel Flow.
