Closing the evaluation gap in agentic AI
A $3M commitment to advance AI with open benchmarks
Funding open benchmarks that define the frontier
We believe that open benchmarks define the AI frontier. Snorkel AI — in partnership with Hugging Face, Prime Intellect, Together AI, Factory HQ, Harbor and PyTorch — is launching the Open Benchmarks Grants program to support the researchers and builders committed to open and transparent data development.
Backed by a $3M commitment, the Open Benchmarks Grants program funds open-source datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation artifacts that shape how frontier AI systems are built and evaluated.
Call for proposals
We are seeking applications from researchers, labs, and engineers building benchmarks for the next wave of AI capabilities. We’re looking for benchmarks that drive the fundamental axes for AI agency (read more on our blog) — and welcome independent directions from the research community as well.
