24 alternatives to A Layer for robotics dataset quality
We are exploring how teams can automatically audit data quality, detect problematic demonstrations, and build smaller, high-quality training sets before spending GPU time. We are looking for design partners to help shape the Calibra.

We’re excited to share ML-Dev-Bench, a new open-source benchmark that tests AI agents on real-world ML development tasks. Unlike typical coding challenges or Kaggle-style competitions, our benchmark simulates end-to-end ML workflows including: - Dataset handling and preprocessing - Debugging model and code failures - Implementing new model architectures - Fine-tuning and improving existing models With 30 diverse tasks, ML-Dev-Bench evaluates agents across critical stages of ML development. To complement this, we built Calipers, a framework that provides systematic performance evaluation and…

In the past 4 years, we developed a platform generating 3D visuals and deploying AR Try-on experiences into large footwear and retail companies. We focused on high-fidelity meshes and textures since the point was giving shoppers a realistic visual. Then robotics companies started to approach us and they asked for thousands of 3D assets that they can use in creating different simulation environments. This is crucial for them so they can achieve better sim-to-real transfer with domain randomization (train a humanoid in a million different kitchens so a real one is not a surprise when it is…

Hey HN, Data quality matters more than ever. Our world increasingly relies on AI and proprietary datasets to fine-tune models. But as many of us know, garbage in often results in garbage out. Bad data can cost millions, especially when it informs important decisions like public health policy or interest rate hedging. Today’s data engineers need a flexible, secure, and performant data quality toolkit designed for the modern workflow. But current solutions were built a decade ago and don't support big data technologies, such as Spark. This is why we're building Spotlight - the data quality…

We've been building SensorSurf and are thrilled to share our beta with the robotics community: https://github.com/SensorSurf/agent. SensorSurf is an open source platform that makes it easy for robotics engineers to collect and search data from their fleet. You can define triggers for when to record data (e.g. emergency stop) and capture the moments leading up to the event with rolling buffers. We integrate directly with ROS. Drop our agent into your system, and start collecting data! ================= What prompted me to found this company: > I was a perception engineer…

Synthetic data generation is an essential step in training and evaluating LLMs/Agents/RAG pipelines, but tooling around this is still lacking. We're introducing Curator, an open-source library designed to streamline the data curation process. While there are many libraries to prompt LLMs, the semantics of generating synthetic data is different from prompting. For example, we need to process a large number of prompts (sometimes in millions or more) while accepting some failures, utilize several stages of prompting, incorporate human feedback, and filter out bad data using verifiers…

We built meta-agent: an open-source library that automatically and continuously improves agent harnesses from production traces. Point it at an existing agent, a stream of unlabeled production traces, and a small labeled holdout set. An LLM judge scores unlabeled production traces as they stream. A proposer reads failed traces and writes one targeted harness update at a time, such as changes to prompts, hooks, tools, or subagents. The update is kept only if it improves holdout accuracy. On tau-bench v3 airline, meta-agent improved holdout accuracy from 67% to 87%. We open-sourced meta-agent.…
