Innodata’s revenue primarily comes from: 1) AI data services for big tech (post-training data: RLHF/RLAIF, evaluation, agentic AI judges) – AI direct. 2) Pretraining data corpora at scale – AI direct. 3) Model safety/testing and remediation for multimodal and agentic systems – AI direct. 4) Enterprise AI services (workflow automation, integration, analytics) – AI direct. 5) Innodata Federal (end-to-end AI for defense/intelligence/civilian) – AI direct. 6) Emerging sovereign AI partnerships – AI direct. AI products are the core revenue engine across segments.
Three of these new 5, we believe, are positioned to allocate up to hundreds of millions of dollars annually to generative AI data and evaluation, and we believe we're well positioned to capture a share of that spend.
