Hasty
Data-centric vision-AI platform with in-loop model retraining; acquired by CloudFactory in 2022.
Acquired — still operating
Acquired by CloudFactory, announced September 8, 2022; platform folded into CloudFactory's human-in-the-loop offering.
About
Hasty was a data-centric machine-learning platform for vision AI. Its distinguishing idea was retraining models during labeling, so annotators and engineers iterated on data and model together instead of labeling first and training later. It shipped AI-assisted annotation automation aimed at cutting manual labeling work and maximizing workforce productivity. In September 2022 CloudFactory completed its acquisition of Hasty, folding the platform into its human-in-the-loop AI offering alongside its annotation workforce. The standalone product is gone. It remains a useful reference for the data-centric turn in annotation tooling: agile, model-in-the-loop labeling before the phrase was fashionable.
