Tenyks

Tenyks is a University of Cambridge spin-out (Y Combinator; backed by Speedinvest) building a visual-intelligence platform for computer vision. Its original product is an MLOps monitoring and validation platform that helps ML engineers working with computer-vision data find and fix what is wrong with their models — data-quality analysis, model performance comparison, text-to-image / image-to-image / object-level similarity search, embeddings, tagging and custom metadata across image and video datasets. Tenyks has since extended into a Vision AI / Video AI Agents platform that turns everyday camera feeds into privacy-first operational analytics for brick-and-mortar businesses. The Tenyks API (currently alpha, for Premium/Dashboard users, with a freemium Sandbox) lets teams authenticate with an API key + secret to obtain a Bearer token, then create datasets and models, and upload and ingest annotations and predictions directly from AWS S3, GCS or Azure. A Python SDK and CLI wrap the same surface.

Tenyks publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Auth API, Data Upload API, and Datasets API. Tagged areas include Company, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, MLOps, and Data Quality.

Tenyks’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 20 more developer resources.
