Hive is an American artificial intelligence company offering machine learning models via APIs to enterprise customers. [1] Hive uses around 700,000 gig workers to train data for its models through its Hive Work app. [2] One of Hive's major offerings is to provide automated content moderation services. [3]
Hive is reported to have been engaged to provide content moderation services to social news aggregator Reddit, [4] Giphy, [4] BeReal, [5] Donald Trump-affiliated social network Truth Social, [6] and on online chat website Chatroulette. [7] Parler, after its shutdown by content service providers in early 2021 due to a lack of content moderation, integrated with Hive and was allowed back in the App Store. [8] Hive's content moderation models have been leveraged widely in the livestreaming industry, where the cost of human moderation is high. [9]
Hive's models have also been used in events such as the Super Bowl [10] [11] and March Madness, [12] and its contextual advertising models used by NBC Universal [13] and Vevo. [14]
Hive provides APIs to detect deepfakes [15] and AI-generated artwork. [16]
In early 2023, Hive released a free demo text classifier intended to detect AI-generated text. [17] Mark Hachman at PC World rated Hive's classifier favorably and found it more reliable than OpenAI's AI text classifier. [18]
Hive was founded by Kevin Guo and Dmitriy Karpman, and in April 2021, announced $85M in new capital at a valuation of $2 billion. [1]
