Scale AI asserts continuation post $14.3B Meta investment
Scale AI just got a massive $14.3 billion investment from Meta, but the company wants everyone to know it's still calling its own shots—Meta has no voting rights despite owning 49%.
Interim CEO Jason Droege described the deal as a validation of Scale's journey since 2016, not a sign of any big changes or an exit.
TL;DR
Scale has been a go-to for prepping data for big names like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft.
After Meta's move, though, things are shifting: OpenAI is slowly stepping back (they say it's about new data needs, not Meta), and Google plans to end its partnership soon.
Even with these changes, Droege says Scale is sticking to what it does best—delivering top-notch data services and staying model-agnostic.
