Scale AI
Enterprise Data Engine and GenAI Platform providing human-curated data labeling, RLHF, and evaluation pipelines to train and fine-tune AI models.
Last verified:
Scale AI operates a Data Engine and GenAI Platform that combines human data annotators, RLHF pipelines, and evaluation tooling to help enterprises and government agencies build, fine-tune, and evaluate AI models. Most customers book an enterprise demo for custom, SLA-backed contracts, though a self-serve, pay-as-you-go Data Engine exists for smaller research and experimental workloads with the first 1,000 labeling units and first 10,000 curated images free. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco, Scale AI reached a $14B valuation in 2024; in June 2025 Meta Platforms acquired a 49% non-voting stake in the company for more than $14 billion, after which founder Alexandr Wang departed to lead Meta's superintelligence lab while Scale continues to operate as an independent entity.
