Following Snorkel AI’s June collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is designed to assist enterprises in building custom, production-ready AI models, the company is now joining AWS’ Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program.
By joining this program, Snorkel AI aims to deliver powerful, scalable AI solutions to AWS customers and help them boost their AI capabilities. The program allows the availability of Snorkel Flow in the AWS Marketplace, ensuring the solution can be brought to market more quickly and efficiently.
Snorkel Flow in the AWS ISV Accelerate Program
After completing a comprehensive architectural and security review, Snorkel AI is joining the program, which will provide the company with enhanced technical support, co-selling opportunities, and deeper integration with AWS services.
The program ensures that Snorkel AI will be able to bring its Snorkel Flow solution to market quickly and efficiently, meaning faster, more reliable deployment for customers using the Snorkel platform for AI and machine learning tasks.
Snorkel Flow is an AI data development platform that curates training data and delivers AI models up to 100x faster with programmatic data development. It also accelerates enterprise AI development by encoding SME knowledge and applying it at scale. This enables data scientists to quickly curate training data, evaluate models, optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and fine-tune LLMs.
The solution is “the world’s first programmatic AI data development platform” that enables enterprise data science and AI teams to label and curate data by writing code. This leads to faster data development for more specialized enterprise AI adoption. Snorkel Flow also includes enterprise-ready security and compliance features, such as SOC 2 Type II certification and HIPAA compliance for handling Protected Health Information (PHI).
Organizations that purchase Snorkel AI through the AWS Marketplace can apply 100 percent of their committed spend as credit toward the Snorkel Flow solution, allowing them to accelerate machine learning initiatives, automate data labeling, and streamline model development.
Additionally, if an organization is participating in the AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP), they’re already benefiting from the savings and flexibility of their fixed-term contract.
Strategic collaboration with AWS
Back in June, Snorkel signed a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS to assist enterprises with building custom, production-ready AI models.
Part of the SCA includes the two companies launching the Snorkel and AWS Custom Model Accelerator Program for Amazon SageMaker customers designed to deliver private fine-tuned GenAI models and co-developed benchmarks that evaluate model performance against an organization’s unique goals and objectives.
Program components include:
- Evaluation and benchmark workshops: Experts from both companies work collaboratively to create customer benchmarks.
- Snorkel-led data and LLM development: This component supports end-to-end delivery of LLMs which are fine-tuned and aligned through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart and other tools, such as Amazon Bedrock, to meet production-level performance.
- Model cost optimization and serving: This allows for optionally distilling LLMs into specialized small language models (SLMs) to improve enterprise task-specific accuracy and reduce cost.
- Exclusive access to a production-ready model optimized for a specific use case.
“Generative AI quality is entirely dependent on the data used to tune and align models,” said Henry Ehrenberg, Snorkel AI co-founder. “Enterprises working on custom use cases need to quickly identify the best off-the-shelf model, then tune it with scalable and adaptable approaches to developing their data, and deploy these models with enterprise-grade security and privacy. Our relationship with AWS helps organizations around the globe accelerate the demo-to-production pipeline. This is fantastic news for our shared customers and the many AWS customers looking to transform their business with generative AI use cases.”
AWS continues to add companies to its ISV Accelerate Program to help enterprises manage and scale GenAI adoption. Read more about how it helps AWS Partners drive new business.
