Introduction to Arcus

The Arcus Data Exchange is a two-sided auction house that matches Data Consumers with Data Publishers. Data Consumers leverage data from the auction to improve their AI applications’ performance, while Data Publishers monetize and distribute their data through the auction system. Your AI applications are only as good as the data they see and by providing your applications with more high-value real world data and signals, you improve their ability to accurately model and understand their task at hand. Arcus provides multiple offerings for different ways in which you can interact with the auction to improve your AI applications.

The Arcus Data Exchange automatically matches AI applications with data that improves their performance. By connecting to the Data Exchange, your AI applications are automatically matched to and joined with relevant datasets, which are then empirically validated through the trialing process. Arcus’ client libraries develop an understanding of your application and first-party data to predict the highest value external data to consume and then run experiments to determine the quantifiable impact that data has against your task. Based on the actual results produced, you can choose what data to consume from the exchange.

Using Arcus Model Enrichment, you can seamlessly improve the performance of your AI models. Models are automatically enriched with high value external signals and data to help them better model real world applications. Using the Arcus Model SDK, the data you consume from the exchange is automatically integrated into your ML workflows for training and inference, all while preserving the privacy of your data.

Using Arcus Prompt Enrichment, you can seamlessly improve the performance of your Generative AI applications. The prompts for your Generative AI applications are automatically enriched through the process of Data Augmented Generation with signals and data from the exchange, which are provided to the model as prompt context.

The Arcus Client Libraries allow you to consume data from the Arcus Data Exchange without any changes to your core ML workflows. Your models and data stay where they are, while the client libraries integrate popular ML frameworks and libraries with the Data Exchange to transparently pull in high value data and signals and simply improve your AI performance.
