June 13th, 2025Via: Inc.:
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, hell-bent on expanding its artificial intelligence capabilities, just invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI, acquiring a 49 percent stake in the San Francisco-based startup. Scale, now valued at $29 billion just nine years after its founding, will remain a separate company, but as part of the investment, Meta effectively poached 28-year-old Scale co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang. Wang is set to lead the tech giant’s new superintelligence unit, Meta confirmed in a statement to the press.
