GOOGLE, SCALE AI'S LARGEST CUSTOMER, PLANS SPLIT AFTER META DEAL

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Meta's $14 billion acquisition of a 49% stake in Scale AI prompted Google to pull its planned $200 million contract for human-labeled training data over fears of exposing sensitive data to Meta. Microsoft, xAI, and OpenAI are also backing away from Scale AI over the same competitive concerns. The exodus benefits Scale's competitors, with Labelbox expecting "hundreds of millions" in new revenue as AI labs seek neutral data providers or move operations in-house.
