META PLANS $15B INVESTMENT IN SCALE AI TO BUILD 'SUPERINTELLIGENCE' LAB

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

The deal would give Meta a 49% stake in the data-labeling startup and bring over co-founder Alexandr Wang to lead a new "superintelligence" lab aimed at outperforming OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The massive investment follows Llama 4's underwhelming launch, but it's unclear if the investment also includes greater access to Scale's training data created for other AI labs in addition to highly sought-after AI research talent.
