Summary

Voxel51 is celebrating its 4th anniversary of Open Source FiftyOne, a project that has garnered 8,000 GitHub stars, 100+ open source contributors, 3,000 community Slack members, and 26,000+ members in AI + CV Meetups. The company's tools are accelerating the transformation of industries with Visual AI, enabling AI systems to perceive, reason, and make informed decisions based on visual data. Voxel51 has also published two blogs: one by Brian Moore on What is Visual AI?, which explains how it goes beyond traditional computer vision, and another by Robert Wright and Allen Lee on How I Built an In-Cabin Perception Dataset, which showcases the ease of building a dataset and loading it into FiftyOne. Additionally, Voxel51 has launched a data-centric AI competition on Hugging Face, where participants are challenged to curate a subset of a provided dataset while maintaining or improving object detection model performance. The company is also hosting various events and competitions, including a Visual AI challenge with prizes for the winners.
