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.

Fable 5.1 on Frontier Coding Tasks: Efficient Successes, Distinct Failure Modes
We evaluated Fable 5.1 on a series of frontier coding tasks from our proprietary Terminal-Bench+ dataset and compared the results against Opus 5. Fable remained competitive across most categories and was materially more efficient on successful runs, while its gap was concentrated in a small set of terminal-heavy and build/dependency tasks. Because category sizes are small and uneven, we treat

Terminal-Bench 4.0: Why Continuous Benchmarks Require Continuous QA
The speed of new frontier model releases keeps accelerating. Meanwhile benchmarks struggle to keep up and saturate quickly, often being left in the dust. Most benchmarks are static datasets with no active maintenance, causing them to lose value fast. Some benchmarks are looking to change this by becoming Continuous Benchmarks. Terminal-Bench is one of the most widely reported benchmarks on

Why Frontier Agents Fail Real Engineering Work: Two Terminal-Bench 3.0 Task Deep Dives
Terminal-Bench 3.0 (formerly Frontier-Bench) recently launched, built to track what AI agents can and can’t do across real computer work. Terminal-Bench 2.1 has been saturating, with top agents reaching 84%; on Terminal-Bench 3.0, the best model, Claude Opus 5, achieves just 43.5%. Terminal-Bench 3.0 raises the bar with 74 authentic, verifiable tasks across 7 domains, designed to expose meaningful gaps
