Surge AI provides high-quality human-generated training data and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) for AI developers. It pairs a large network of expert annotators with a labeling platform and API to produce complex, specialized data — code, math, safety, and domain reasoning — used to train and align frontier models. Reported customers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta.

Pros & cons

  • Expert annotators, high-quality data
  • Specializes in RLHF & reasoning data
  • Trusted by frontier AI labs
  • Profitable and bootstrapped
  • API plus platform for data delivery
  • Premium pricing (sales-led)
  • Aimed at large labs, not small teams
  • Limited public product detail
  • Not for simple bulk labeling
