Different models are naturally going to excel at different tasks (just like humans). For users — especially those building products — having visibility into those tradeoffs is going to be a critical part of the decision-making process.

Sure, benchmarks are cool, but they don’t give you the feel or the intuition of how a model actually works. To get that, you’ve got to hack around with the model and throw real-world prompts at it — like you’d do in day-to-day tasks.

Harness GenAI and popular ML models for pre-labeling, interactive labeling, and model evaluation. Advancements to the ML backend and a new examples library makes it easy to create powerful automations for Label Studio workflows.
