Bitcoin price today: muted at $118k but altcoins soar as House passes new bills
Investing.com -- OpenAI is ending its relationship with data-labeling startup Scale AI following Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META).’s recent multi-billion dollar investment in the company.
The maker of ChatGPT confirmed it is phasing out work with Scale AI, which provided only a small portion of OpenAI’s total data needs. According to Bloomberg, citing an OpenAI spokesperson, the company had already begun reducing its dependence on Scale before Meta acquired a 49% stake in the startup.
The spokesperson explained that OpenAI had been looking for alternative providers that could supply more specialized data necessary for developing increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence models.
Meta’s $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI has created new uncertainty for the data-labeling company’s business outlook. As part of the deal, Meta has hired Scale’s founder and CEO Alexandr Wang to lead a new "superintelligence" division focused on developing more powerful AI software.
Several other Scale employees are expected to join Wang at Meta to work on artificial intelligence projects. The unusual arrangement has Meta taking a substantial ownership position in Scale while simultaneously recruiting its leadership team.
