Why build the whole evidence chain?
Annotation tools, training systems, and inference providers each answer part of the model lifecycle. Taught is designed to preserve the relationships between those parts so a team can inspect decisions without reconstructing them from disconnected exports and logs.
- Human authority
- Assistance can accelerate work, but model proposals never become human votes.
- Reproducibility
- Task revisions, dataset manifests, splits, and run artifacts make model changes inspectable.
- Capability honesty
- Labeling, proposals, training, export, and inference are reported separately for each task and deployment.
- Open or private
- Organizations control authority while verified open-source publishers can release checkpoints with evidence.
What Taught is building toward
- 01Clear work for people
Contributors answer bounded questions about real content under project rules.
- 02Governed evidence for teams
Owners define tasks, quorum, rewards, datasets, training, and promotion authority.
- 03Accountable models for products
Applications and agents use exact promoted versions when hosted serving is enabled.
- 04One product truth
Every public page distinguishes implemented capability, deployment availability, and future platform scope.
How to read capability claims on this site
- Images, audio, and video have native review contracts; image object detection is the mature end-to-end task.
- Text, document, and PDF are platform targets, not native labeling claims.
- Hosted inference, public endpoints, MCP, A2A, and redemption depend on explicit deployment capability.
Questions teams ask before they begin
Direct answers based on the current Taught product and deployment boundaries.
Is Taught the same project as ImageTagger?
Taught is the active product brand. ImageTagger is the historical repository and development codename.
Who is Taught for?
It is designed for ML teams governing reviewed training evidence and for contributors completing clear, project-scoped labeling missions.
Is every described capability live on taught.dev?
No. The public site describes product contracts and marks deployment-gated capabilities. Access and service availability must be verified for the target deployment.
