Multimodal data lakehouse for curating, labeling, and training custom AI
Ocular AI is a YC W24 startup building a platform that takes unstructured video, image, and audio data through curation, annotation, and model training in one place. Its stack pairs PyTorch, TensorFlow, and OpenCV with a Next.js/React front end on AWS and Vercel, and its senior-weighted engineering hiring targets LoRA training infrastructure, LLM fine-tuning, and model evaluation pipelines.
Ocular AI is a San Francisco-based, privately held company founded in 2024 and backed by Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch. Its product, Ocular Foundry, is a multimodal lakehouse that lets teams ingest, catalog, search, and annotate unstructured data, then train custom models on it. Target users include teams building computer vision, robotics perception, and domain-specific generative AI. The company has 2–10 employees and hires in the United States. Its offerings include the Foundry annotation platform and a data labeling service called Bolt.
Ocular AI uses Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and OpenCV for ML work, PostgreSQL and AWS for infrastructure, and Next.js, React, Redux, and Recoil on Vercel for the front end, plus HubSpot and Salesforce.
Current work includes the Foundry annotation platform, the Bolt data labeling service, a multimodal collaborative canvas, LoRA training infrastructure, LLM fine-tuning, and model evaluation pipelines.
