Tidel.ai

Data for models that move, play, and think.

Built for frontier labs
Real-world multimodal trajectories — captured, labeled, and aligned to what models actually need.

Problem & Opportunity 02
The Gap

LLM ≠ World Model.

GPT models already write code, pass the bar, do research, and operate browsers — but the moment they leave pure text, their grasp of the world drops off a cliff.

A clay-style brain — abstract reasoning models handle well
What models do well
  • Write code, solve math problems
  • Pass bar / medical exams
  • Summarize, translate, rewrite
  • Multi-turn dialogue & tool calls
A clay-style robot hand pouring from a kettle — an everyday physical task
What models still can't do
  • Count objects accurately in a video
  • Reason about physical cause & effect
  • Control a robot arm for everyday tasks
  • Learn a game it has never seen

The Shift

The bottleneck isn't parameters — it's the type of data.

The past five years solved parameters and model cognition. The next five are bottlenecked on physical and interaction data — and that is exactly where Tidel comes in.

  • Multimodal-aligned real-world data — vision + depth + action
  • Physical interaction with action trajectories — teleop, gameplay
  • Data that keeps models reproducible & generalizable

Why Tidel 08
How we get better data

How capture, annotation & alignment translate into better data.

Data quality is set at the intersection of how it's captured, how it's labeled, and how closely it maps to what frontier models actually need.

Frontier Capture
Multimodal, sensor-rich capture methods
+
Algorithm-Aligned Annotation
Labeling specs built around model goals
+

What sets us apart

Three things that make Tidel stand out.

01 · Network
10 years root in Silicon Valley
100% of projects connect directly to frontier labs — no second-hand subcontracting.
02 · Algorithm DNA
More than ops-driven
Top-tier algorithm experts bridge data supply ↔ model performance.
03 · Frontier methods
Always on the frontier
Manus gloves, Genie 3 — shaping the next data-capture paradigm.
