Who uses it
Harvey and Rogo use the platform to train models for law and finance. Other customers are:
- Decagon
- Mercor
- Nvidia
What is not known
The company gave no test results. Co-founder Michael Elabd says that training with persons in control is more safe than AI that works without persons.
