Snorkel AI hosted SnorkelCon, its first annual user conference in New York City, bringing together hundreds of enterprise AI experts to explore how to drive faster enterprise AI deployment through programmatic data development.
The day’s agenda included glimpses into Snorkel Flow’s future and real-world examples of Snorkel AI customers using the platform to build AI applications that yield real business value faster than ever. Additionally, event sponsors Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Databricks, and SambaNova Systems spoke with eventgoers about how their offerings complement Snorkel Flow.
Automation, efficiency, and scaling AI in the enterprise
Presentations at this year’s SnorkelCon centered on three core themes:
- Automation of data labeling.
- Efficiency in AI model specialization.
- Scaling AI initiatives in large enterprises.
Together, these themes united into an urgency to develop repeatable practices for converting unstructured data into reusable assets for model development and training. Closing keynote speaker Murli Buluswar, Citi’s Head of U.S. Consumer Analytics, summarized a major thread for the day when he told the audience that we’re moving from the information age into the “intelligence age.” This age, he noted, will be defined by moving beyond the democratization of data to the democratization of intelligence.
Earlier presentations spotlighted automation as presenters highlighted the growing need to build AI models while minimizing manual labeling efforts. Snorkel Flow’s programmatic AI data development techniques, several presenters noted, address these challenges and can accelerate specialized model development times by up to 100x.

Milestone-Based Evaluation and Training for Long-Horizon AI Agents
Long-horizon agents operate across many dependent states and transitions, often spanning multiple tools, environments, and periods of external feedback. The difficulty comes from preserving coherent progress as earlier decisions constrain later actions. A single workflow may involve researching evidence, changing files or records, waiting for external responses, revising plans, validating intermediate results, and returning to earlier systems with new information.

Enterprise environments and training AI agents for real-world workflows
Most agent benchmarks still evaluate a thin slice of the job. The agent receives a task, produces an answer, gets scored, and the episode ends. Enterprise workflows work differently. An underwriting agent may need to read policy documents, inspect customer records, call internal tools, ask a simulated user for missing information, update state, and follow approval rules. A correct final

Claude Opus 5: Performance and Error Analysis on Frontier Coding Tasks
Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 recently debuted as the second model overall on the current Senior SWE-bench leaderboard, behind Fable 5. It also achieves the highest score of any evaluated model on the benchmark’s Bug & Performance Investigation category, reinforcing the rapid progress frontier coding models continue to make on increasingly realistic software engineering tasks. Just as notable, Opus 5 reaches
