Where INOD is headed

Innodata sits in an odd corner of the AI buildout. While everyone argues about GPUs and foundation models, the labs themselves keep writing nine-figure cheques to a 38-year-old New Jersey company that used to digitise medical records. That tells you something the headlines don't. The frontier model race isn't bottlenecked by compute anymore, it's bottlenecked by high-quality, expert-annotated training data, and the supply of that data is controlled by maybe five companies on earth. Innodata is one of them, with Scale AI, Surge, Appen and a couple of private outfits making up the rest.
