Training Data Platform in One Application

Complete training data platform for machine learning delivered as a single application.

Open Source Data Labeling, Workflow, Automation, Exploring, Streaming, and so much more!

What is Diffgram?

Diffgram is multiple training data tools in one single application.

  1. Ingest - Magic Wizard
  2. Store - Source of Truth for Training Data
  3. Workflow - Human Tasks
  4. Annotation - Image & Video Labeling. Audio, Text, 3D coming soon.
  5. Annotation Automation - Customizable
  6. Stream to Training - Direct to PyTorch & Tensorflow Memory
  7. Explore - Query & Visually See Annotations
  8. Debug - Compare Models & More
  9. Secure and Private

Diffgram is Open Source and Client Installed. Quickstart

Who is Diffgram for?

Data Scientists, Project Admins, Software Engineers, Data Annotators and Subject Matter Experts.

What problem does Diffgram solve?

The current state of multiple tools is a huge pain. Integrating these complex toolchains, context switching, human training, costs for multiple applications all add up.

Why Diffgram?

Diffgram solves this by bringing all the functions of a complex toolchain directly into one application. Providing multiple tools with one single integrated application.

What are Diffgram’s competitive advantages?

One single Application with all the features you require.

What is Diffgram a drop in replacement for?

Diffgram is a drop in replacement for the following systems: Labelbox, CVAT, SuperAnnotate, Label Studio (Heartex), V7 Labs (Darwin), BasicAI, SuperbAI, Kili-Technology, HastyAI, Dataloop, Keymakr, ActiveLoop, DVC, Scale Nucleus.

Please see the roadmap and talk with us if you see a missing feature.

How much does this cost?

If you have less than 20 people and manage your own Diffgram instance there is no licensing cost. You can install Diffgram and use it with hundreds of thousands of annotations for free.

If you desire additional support, feature prioritization, etc. we have packages available.

When do I need to upgrade?

We charge based on capacity. If you have 20+ people then the first step is upgrading to Enterprise Edition. This unlocks capacity, adds support and many other features.

If you are planning to do millions, billions, or even a trillion+ annotations then Diffgram Enterprise is for you! Diffgram Enterprise can help you scale every aspect of your training data.

Roadmap

2021:

  1. Interfaces 3D, Text, Audio

2022:

  1. Save on labeling costs by only labeling most relevant data. Active Learning.
  2. Save QA costs by using model to debug humans. Explore V2
  3. Save on labeling costs by using interactive automations. Userscripts V2
  4. Scale: Support for up to 1,000+ QPS and up to 10 Billion annotations per install.

2023:

  1. Scale: Support for up to 10,000+ QPS and up to 500+ Billion annotations. Roadmap

We welcome you to create issues, join our slack channel, and help shape our roadmap. Are you an Enterprise customer? Talk to us about priority implementations.

Built for Extreme Scale

Diffgram has many great features no matter the volume of annotation. Diffgram is unique in that we think about scale across all aspects of the system.

Do any of these apply to you?

  • Models running in staging or production?
  • Are using pre-labels or interactive automations?
  • Need versioning?
  • Have expanding use cases or need better model performance?
  • Expanding your annotation team or needs? Have multiple teams accessing training data?
  • Using complex data types like video, 3D, multi-modal?

These things all stack to make for 10, 100, 1000x+ increases in volumes of annotation needs.

A single Diffgram install is capable of 100,000,000+ (100 Million+) annotations. We plan to scale it to support 10,000,000,000 (10 Billion+) per install in 2022. More on Scale

Examples of things we think about for you that go beyond the literal numbers:

  • Is this cost effective at scale? If you need an automation to produce millions of instances, how can we do that in a way that approaches $0?
  • What does access time for data look like when the volume is 10x 100x 1000x+?
  • What does the annotator experience look like if the system is at max ingestion capacity?
  • How does a new team get data in and out of Diffgram in an easy standard process?
  • How can teams access data across Diffgram installations? How can we serve multiple team’s needs through one unified data model?

If you need extreme scale - choose Diffgram.

Features

This is an ACTIVE project. We are very open to feedback and encourage you to create Issues and help us grow!

Diffgram is an amazing way to access, view, compare, and collaborate on datasets to create the highest quality models. Because these features are fully integrated with the Annotation Tooling, it's absolutely seamless to go from spotting an issue, to creating a labeling campaign, updating schema, etc to correct it.

  • Uncover bad data and edge cases
  • Curate data and send for labeling with one click
  • Automatic error highlighting (Coming Soon)

Secure and Private

  • Runs on your local system or cloud. Less lag, more secure, more control. Security and Privacy
  • Enforce PII & RBAC automatically across life-cycle of training data from ingest to dataset to model predictions and back again (Coming Soon)
