What does Turing do for AI labs?
Turing supplies technical talent that produces training data for large language models. Its homepage lists expert model training, post-training and AI application services, and quotes Sam Altman on its ability to scale technical talent to produce training data for OpenAI's LLMs. TechCrunch reported in March 2025 that OpenAI approached Turing in 2022 for code to improve model reasoning, and that Turing's annualized revenue run rate was about $300 million.
How does Turing pay experts?
Turing pays experts as independent contractors who handle their own taxes, according to its jobs page. Applicants enter a rate in their profile, and the page promises competitive pay without figures. Turing does not license company records, so a company with an archive to sell should look at the buyers in our data buyers directory or start with a data valuation.
