Meta Platforms Inc. is reportedly in discussions to make a multibillion-dollar investment in Scale AI, a leading artificial intelligence startup specializing in data labeling services. The financing could exceed $10 billion, making it one of the largest private company funding events in history.
 
1. Meta’s Biggest AI Investment Yet
  • This would be Meta’s largest-ever external AI investment, marking a strategic shift from its usual in-house AI development approach.
  • The move aligns with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s AI-first vision, with the company planning to spend up to $65 billion on AI projects in 2025.
2. Scale AI’s Role in the AI Boom
  • Scale AI, founded in 2016 by Alexandr Wang, provides data labeling services to help companies train machine-learning models.
  • The startup was last valued at $14 billion in 2024, with backing from Meta and Microsoft.
  • Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that Scale AI was in talks for a tender offer valuing it at $25 billion.
3. Meta’s AI Expansion & Industry Competition
  • Meta’s AI chatbot, available on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is used by 1 billion people per month.
  • The company aims to make Llama the industry standard, competing with Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Amazon-supported Anthropic.
  • Unlike its rivals, Meta does not have a cloud business, making the format of its investment in Scale AI unclear.
4. Defense & AI Collaboration
Meta recently partnered with defense contractor Anduril Industries to develop AI-powered military products, including augmented reality helmets.
 
Scale AI is also working with the U.S. government, further strengthening its position in defense technology applications.
