Deccan AI raises $25M for AI model training

Deccan AI, a startup specializing in post-training data and evaluation for AI models, has secured $25 million in Series A funding. The round was led by A91 Partners, with participation from Susquehanna International Group and Prosus Ventures. As AI labs increasingly outsource tasks like data generation and reinforcement learning to ensure model reliability, Deccan AI is positioning itself to meet this growing demand. The company leverages a large, India-based workforce of experts to provide services such as enhancing coding capabilities, training systems to interact with APIs, and generating expert feedback. Customers include Google DeepMind and Snowflake, highlighting the critical need for high-quality, domain-specific data in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
