Labelbox accelerated the launch of text to image models for a frontier AI lab
An AGI research company preparing to launch an AI product needed rapid content moderation at scale while avoiding lock-in to a single labeling vendor, which had historically caused cost overruns, delays, and inability to flexibly scale. Their existing internal labeling tool was slow and resource-intensive to develop and struggled to keep up with expanding use cases.
