The honest brief

Kili Technology

Combines human-in-the-loop annotation with LLM-as-a-judge evaluation in one workflow, instead of labeling-only or eval-only tooling.

  • Multi-modal annotation
  • Built-in QA and review workflows
  • LLM evaluation and RLHF support
  • On-prem and private-cloud options
  • Enterprise-oriented complexity
  • Smaller than Scale or Surge
  • Managed labeling costs extra

Scale AI

Human-data operations at a scale smaller labeling platforms can't staff — expert annotator networks serving frontier-lab RLHF and eval pipelines.

  • Frontier-scale human data ops
  • Expert annotator network
  • Evaluation leaderboards
  • Public-sector offerings (Donovan)
  • Enterprise sales, no public pricing
  • Meta stake raised neutrality concerns
  • Some labs cut engagements post-deal

When to pick which

Both cover LLM evaluation and Data labeling.

Pick Kili Technology if you need Document parsing (structured).

  • Document parsing (structured) (secondary capability)

Pick Scale AI if you need Red-teaming.

  • Red-teaming (secondary capability)

Scale AI leans on LLM evaluation as a headline capability; Kili Technology treats it as secondary.

  • LLM evaluation (primary capability)
