Meta is considering investing over $10 billion in AI startup Scale AI, which provides data labeling services for training machine learning models.
This investment would be Meta's largest-ever outside expenditure on AI and a rare move for the company known for relying on internal research.
Scale AI, valued at $13.8 billion following a funding round, has been a beneficiary of the generative AI boom.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has prioritized AI, planning to spend up to $65 billion on related projects this year and aiming to make its Llama AI model an industry standard.
