Meta aims to invest over $10 billion in start-up AI

If the agreement is reached, it would constitute one of the largest private financing ever in the artificial intelligence sector, marking it as a strategic step for Meta in the global AI development race.

This investment is expected to be part of a new approach by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has warned investments of up to $65 billion in the field of artificial intelligence.

At the heart of this strategy is the language model Lama, for which Meta aims to position it as the global standard of industry. This model is already used by more than a billion people a month on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp platforms.

Scale Al, founded in 2016 by Alexander Wang, specializes in advanced data labeling services necessary for training artificial intelligence patterns. The company co-operates with major industry names, including Microsoft.

In an earlier round of financing in 2024, Scale AI was estimated at about 14 billion dollars, while the assessment in current negotiations is expected to reach $25 billion.

With headquarters in San Francisco, the company generated $870 million in revenue last year, while for 2025 it is projected to double that amount, reaching $2 billion.. /Periscopi/
