Washington D.C. and Herndon, VA., Oct. 9, 2024 — Clarifai, a global leader in computer vision and pioneer in AI orchestration and development, has partnered Crimson Phoenix, a premier provider of data-enabled solutions. This strategic alliance aims to deliver cutting-edge AI-enabled data labeling and computer vision capabilities for unstructured data such as images and video in the Intelligence and Defense communities.
The strategic partnership builds on an existing relationship as Crimson Phoenix was recently awarded a research contract to support the U.S. Army’s Autonomous Combat Casualty Care Initiative. Leveraging Clarifai’s full-stack AI development and computer vision platform, Crimson Phoenix will efficiently annotate complex medical imagery, ensuring the highest accuracy in AI and ML models for combat casualty care.
Moving forward, the ability to quickly and accurately label geospatial data sets, as well as other video, image, and sensor data will be a key advantage in Defense and Intelligence. The partnership will enable entities to identify targets of interest, track and maintain equipment, distinguish enemy soldiers from civilians, detect irregular activities, and support other mission-critical operations.
“We are thrilled to partner with Crimson Phoenix to manage complex data labeling and model building that will rapidly turn mountains of data into plans of decisive action that support the warfighter and the supply chain,” said Matt Zeiler, Ph.D., CEO of Clarifai. “Clarifai has long worked with the defense industry to improve the use of computer vision in battle and intelligence and this partnership will enable us to bring our industry-leading technology to more entities and use cases.”
Clarifai has delivered cutting-edge AI solutions for programs within United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DoD), and other Intelligence communities for years, including via Project Maven, the first large-scale AI program for the government. Clarifai also received the top score in the Computer Vision Tools category in The Forrester Wave™: Computer Vision Tools, Q1 2024. For U.S. government projects, Clarifai has cleared personnel and Awardable status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office's (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.
The partnership is the first of its kind for both Crimson and Clarifai and it underscores the importance of high-quality data labeling and vision model training as AI and ML move deeper into action in Defense and Intelligence.
“By teaming with Clarifai, we aim to solve the most challenging problems of computer vision models and to do it with the efficiency and scale that the Defense and Intelligence industries need. Both Clarifai and Crimson Phoenix have a demonstrated history of delivering mission-critical support to the military, providing the security and resilience our clients demand.
