- Meta's investment values Scale AI at $29 billion, up from $14 billion before the deal, prompting concerns among rival AI companies.
- Scale AI, founded in 2016 and generating $870 million in 2024 revenue, provides critical human-labeled training data for AI models used by major tech firms.
- Reports indicate that Google intended to pay around $200 million this year for services from Scale AI but has been working to broaden its range of data providers for over a year and is now aiming to end its major contracts with Scale AI, a transition that could happen swiftly due to the nature of the agreements.
