Quickly

Responsibly

Accurately

The Generative AI race is on, and you need to push boundaries to win. Boost ROI, mitigate risk, and launch high-performing models faster with our comprehensive Gen AI and model evaluation solutions.

SAMA GEN AI

Generative AI and LLM Solutions

With over 15 years of industry experience, Sama’s data annotation and validation solutions help you build more accurate GenAI and LLMs—faster.

Model Validation & Fact Checking

Our data experts will review your model’s responses for accuracy, identify and highlight any errors, and rewrite responses to improve model performance, combining workflow automation with our human-in-the-loop approach to ensure speed and quality.

Instruction Following

Our team can assess how well your Gen AI model understands, interprets, and executes instructions. We’ll help you identify where your model doesn’t comply, including why a response was selected. Any issues are highlighted and flagged, making it easier and more efficient to fine-tune.

Preference Ranking

Sama’s highly trained team of experts can help you improve the quality and alignment of model outputs through feedback loops, RLHF, and more. With domain expertise across multiple industries and functions, we can analyze and rank model responses, indicate the rationale behind each choice, and highlight any issues within the outputs.

Image & Video Captioning

Sama can help you scale captioning for a variety of modalities. Our team of experts will describe the content of visual inputs, verify if the captions match, and rewrite captions as needed to retrain the model to reduce errors and hallucinations. Sama’s proprietary platform makes sampling easy and our collaborative workflows help reduce subjectivity and ambiguity from project kickoff.

Creative Writing

With domain expertise across a variety of industries and functions, Sama’s dedicated team can create new prompts and responses based on your model goals. We can also rewrite responses, tailored to model capabilities and limitations, to augment existing training data. Our team can also employ chain of thought to provide clear rationale for chosen outputs.

Synthetic Data Creation

When real training data is too difficult or not cost effective to obtain, our team can create synthetic data sets to help train your model, using a human-in-the-loop approach to ensure the highest level of quality. Our team will define objectives for your data, including a specific domain or other required parameters, and test outputs for quality and accuracy by comparing them against outputs from authentic data.

GENERATIVE AI & LLM

Case Studies

A Fortune 100 company was looking to improve its image masking model to generate isolated images of products.

Sama evaluated model outputs to ensure the generative model was properly generating images that were free from text, logos, or any elements that did not belong to the product itself.

Validating Generative AI
Image Masking Model Outputs

A leading Fortune 100 company with an advertising division wanted to scale custom ad imagery by leveraging AI.

Our team evaluated if the model had properly integrated custom-generated, contextual backgrounds into product ads so that products don't just sit against a backdrop, but belong there.

Gen AI Model Evaluation
for Custom Ad Imagery

A Fortune 100 tech company wanted to fine-tune its search algorithm and elevate its AI-augmented search experience, delivering natural and engaging answers to users’ questions.

Sama’s team of data experts evaluated model prompts and responses for alignment with pre-defined criteria.

PLATFORM

What Our Platform Offers

Multimodal Support

Our team is trained to provide comprehensive support across various modalities including text, image, and voice search applications. We help improve model accuracy and performance through a variety of solutions. 

Proactive Quality at-Scale

Our proactive approach minimizes delays while maintaining quality to help teams and models hit their milestones. All of our solutions are backed by SamaAssure™, the industry’s highest quality guarantee for Generative AI. 

Proactive Insights

SamaIQ™ combines the expertise of the industry’s best specialists with deep industry knowledge and proprietary algorithms to deliver faster insights and reduce the likelihood of unwanted biases and other privacy or compliance vulnerabilities.

Collaborative Project Space

SamaHub™, our collaborative project space, is designed for enhanced communication. GenAI and LLM clients have access to collaboration workflows, self-service sampling and complete reporting to track their project’s progress.

Easy Integrations

We offer a variety of integration options, including APIs, CLIs, and webhooks that allow you to seamlessly connect our platform to your existing workflows. The Sama API is a powerful tool that allows you to programmatically query the status of projects, post new tasks to be done, receive results automatically, and more.

APPROACH

Our Proprietary Approach to LLM Delivery

Sama’s model evaluation projects start with tailored consultations to understand your requirements for model performance. We’ll align on how you want your model to behave and set targets across a variety of dimensions.

Our team of Solutions engineers will collaborate with your team to connect to our platform and ensure a smooth flow of data. This can involve either connecting to your existing APIs or having custom integrations built specifically for your needs.

Our expert team meticulously crafts a plan to systematically test and evaluate model outputs to expose inaccuracies. We follow a robust evaluation process that involves a thorough examination of both prompts and the corresponding responses generated by the model. We will assess these elements based on predefined criteria, which may include factors like factual accuracy, coherence, consistency with the prompt's intent, and adherence to ethical guidelines. 

As errors in model outputs are identified, our team will begin creating an additional training data set that can be used to finetune model performance. This new data consists of rewritten prompts and corresponding responses that address the specific mistakes made by the model.

When the project is complete, we follow a structured delivery process to ensure smooth integration with your LLM training pipeline. We offer flexible and customizable delivery formats, APIs, and the option for custom API integrations to support rapid development of models.
