InterLink’s Face AI Ranks Top 51 Worldwide
NIST is the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, widely seen as the world’s most recognized authority in biometric benchmarking. Its FRTE 1:1 face verification test is the gold standard for accuracy. InterLink Labs’ latest model has been officially ranked in the top 51 on NIST’s leaderboard, and the error rates behind that rank matter more than the number itself.
What the NIST recognition means
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) runs the Face Recognition Technology Evaluation (FRTE), an ongoing programme that tests how accurately face recognition algorithms perform.
It is free and open to developers worldwide: as of 6 October 2026, NIST reports 1,483 algorithms from 455 developers since 2017. NIST publishes measured results such as error rates, speed and performance across groups. It does not certify or endorse products, so the ranking reflects test results, not approval.
InterLink's algorithm is ranked 51st in these results. The company says very few large technology groups are ranked alongside it, among them Samsung, Toshiba, SK Telecom, Kakao and Canon.
Why it matters for Linkers
Fewer bots: a low false match rate keeps fake accounts out of airdrops, rewards and votes.
Verify once, stay verified: stable performance over time means no repeated onboarding.
Fair access worldwide: small gaps across groups means anyone can verify with equal ease.
Privacy by design: face features are extracted on your phone and turned into encrypted, non-reversible templates. Raw face images never leave the device, and a compromised template can be revoked like a password.
What’s next
The next model is in develpment, aiming for lower latency, better aging performance and tighter fairness. InterLink also plans a public dashboard with live error rates and a model card, plus quarterly metrics reports.
Trust should be measured, not marketed. InterLink’s top 51 ranking is independent proof that the system blocks fake accounts and reliably recognizes real people.
