## Overview
Label Studio is an open source platform designed for multi-modal data labeling and AI evaluation across diverse workflows. It supports data annotation for computer vision, natural language processing, audio, document processing, time series, and multi-modal tasks. The platform is used by over 1 million AI practitioners globally for training data creation, RLHF tasks, and human-in-the-loop AI evaluation. Label Studio distinguishes itself through its flexibility and integration capabilities, offering programmable interfaces with custom templates, API access, Python SDK support, and native ML pipeline integration. Users can connect any data source and model while triggering workflows in real time. A limitation is that the full capabilities, particularly advanced features and support, are concentrated in the Enterprise version, while the community edition has more restricted functionality.
