Meta is investing $14.3 billion in the artificial intelligence company Scale, and its CEO, Alexandr Wang, will join Meta's advanced AI development team. This is part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's plan to strengthen AI at Meta as it competes with companies like Google and OpenAI. Scale will remain an independent company, but this agreement will significantly expand the business relationship between the two companies, giving Meta a 49% ownership stake in Scale. Wang will move to Meta with a small team but will continue to serve on Scale's board, and Jason Droege will take over as interim CEO. This investment values Scale at over $29 billion. It is not yet clear what this deal will mean for Scale's other clients, including General Motors, Toyota, and several major large language model providers.
