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.

Agents’ Last Exam: AI Benchmarking for Real Work
At our latest Snorkel AI Reading Group, Yiyou Sun and David (Xinyang) Han (UC Berkeley, Center for Responsible and Decentralized Intelligence) presented Agents’ Last Exam (ALE) — a benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on long-horizon, economically valuable, real-world tasks with verifiable outcomes. ALE is a collaboration between Berkeley RDI, Snorkel AI, and 300+ expert contributors across 55 professional subfields. ALE asks a deceptively simple question: can

Continual learning and evaluating how AI agents learn across sequences of tasks
Most agent benchmarks evaluate each task as an independent episode. The agent receives a task, produces an answer, gets scored, and moves on. The next task starts as if the previous one never happened. That setup misses a core requirement for deployed agents. A coding agent, research assistant, data analyst, or workplace assistant should improve as it works across repeated

Benchtalks #3: We taught AI everything except how to learn
For our third Benchtalks, the series dedicated to the researchers building the measurement toolkits that frontier labs hill-climb on, Snorkel AI co-founder Vincent Sunn Chen sat down with Parth Asawa, a PhD student at UC Berkeley advised by Matei Zaharia and Joey Gonzalez. Parth leads research on continual learning and is the creator of Continual Learning Bench, developed in collaboration
