Snorkel AI Named a 2022 Gartner® Cool Vendor

We just returned from NeurIPS 2025, and we’re still processing everything we saw. The energy around data-centric AI has never been stronger—and we couldn’t be more grateful to the research community for pushing these ideas forward.

Explores how rubrics support agentic, multi-turn, tool-using, multimodal, and code-generating AI systems, and how they evolve with AI feedback and ensemble evaluation.

TL;DR: We stress-tested the “generate → criticize → improve” loop on 50 visual reasoning tasks. The results were counterintuitive: self-critique acts as a corrosive agent on high-performance tasks, turning 98% accuracy into 57%. Yet, for tasks where models fail completely, it works like magic. This difficulty-dependent behavior poses a critical, hidden risk for RLFT pipelines. The promise vs. the reality…
