Summary: Meta is in talks to invest over $10 billion in Scale AI, a significant move for the company which has primarily relied on in-house research for AI improvements. Scale AI, valued at $14 billion in 2024, provides data labeling services for machine learning models and has seen rapid growth, with revenue expected to double to $2 billion in 2025. This investment aligns with Meta’s focus on AI, including its chatbot Llama, and its partnership with Scale on a military-focused AI program called Defence Llama.
