Google, Scale AI's Largest Customer, Said to Plan Split After Meta Deal
Google plans to sever ties with AI data-labeling startup Scale AI after rival Meta acquired a 49% stake. Reuters' sources reveal Google, Scale's largest customer, had projected $200 million in payments this year for crucial human-labeled training data, vital for developing models like Gemini. The search giant is reportedly already in discussions with Scale AI's competitors to shift this significant workload, signaling a major disruption in their long-standing partnership.
