# Avala

> Avala is the unified data engine for Physical AI and frontier models. We eliminate entropy in your data pipeline—fusing sensors, labels, and feedback into traceable ground truth.

## About

Avala was founded by Emal Alwis, the third engineer on Tesla's Autopilot AI team, who reported directly to Elon Musk for six years. After seeing firsthand how existing annotation vendors couldn't meet the demands of safety-critical AI, he built Avala: a glass-box engine that replaces fragmented vendors with traceable ground truth.

Today, Avala is powered by 15,000+ specialized annotators across three continents and an experienced team from the self-driving, AI, gig economy, and trust and safety worlds.

## Core Product: Mission Control

Mission Control connects ingestion, labeling, training, and governance in one surface. Trace any model behavior back to the exact frame, labeler, and policy that shaped it.

### Key Capabilities

- **Annotation Ops**: Design, automate, and audit human-in-the-loop annotation pipelines with built-in quality controls. Supports bounding boxes, polygons, polylines, keypoints, segmentation, LiDAR point clouds, and more.
- **Dataset Ops**: Ingest, version, and search multi-modal datasets with lineage, permissions, and scalable storage.
- **Agentic Labeling**: 80/20 AI-human auto-labeling — custom models trained from scratch on your data, with failure mining and corner-case review by expert annotators.
- **Model Catalog**: Physical AI models for auto-labeling, segmentation, trajectory prediction, and scene reconstruction. YOLO, SAM 3, NVIDIA Alpamayo, and Avala Custom Models.
- **Integrations**: Connect Avala to your storage, labeling tools, model hubs, and observability platforms.
- **Security & Compliance**: Enterprise-grade security with audit trails, role-based access, and data governance.

### What Makes Avala Different

1. **Full-Stack Physical AI Infrastructure**: Hardware + sensors + edge + data + annotation + models. Not just another software-only annotation tool.
2. **4D World-Data Engine**: Reconstructs scenes with Gaussian Splatting for physics-grade ground truth. Labels reality, not frames.
3. **Tesla Autopilot DNA**: Built by the team that built Tesla Autopilot, not by annotation tool makers pivoting to Physical AI.
4. **15,000+ Global Workforce**: Our workforce IS the product. Trained annotators across 3 continents deliver quality at scale.
5. **Glass-Box Infrastructure**: Every annotation is traceable. Every decision is auditable. Safety-critical AI demands it.
