Гигантский ход от Meta: купили ИИ-стартап Scale AI за $14,3 млрд! 🤯 За эти деньги Зукерберг не только получил супер-технологии для разметки данных, но и переманил CEO Александр Ванга в свою команду. Причём всё произошло тихо — инсайдеры шепчут, что переговоры шли месяцами. 💼 Стартап теперь оценён в $29 млрд — космическая цифра даже для Кремниевой долины. Что это даст Meta? Мощный толчок в гонке ИИ против OpenAI и Google, особенно для тренировки их моделей. Но инвесторы нервничают: Scale AI недавно теряла клиентов, а Ванг неожиданно ушёл сразу после сделки. 🤔 Главный вопрос: оправдает ли слив денег обещанный «прорыв»? Пока Meta ставит на кон всё — даже репутацию. 💥

msmashon Thursday June 12, 2025 @10:30PM from the aggressive-bets dept. Meta has invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI while recruiting the startup’s CEO to join its AI team, marking an aggressive move by the social media giant to accelerate its AI development efforts. The unusual deal gives Meta a 49% non-voting stake in Scale, valuing the company at more than $29 billion. Scale co-founder Alexandr Wang will join Meta’s «superintelligence» unit, which focuses on building AI systems that perform as well as humans — a theoretical milestone known as artificial general intelligence. Wang will remain on Scale’s board while Jason Droege takes over as interim CEO. The investment represents Meta’s intensified push to compete in AI development after CEO Mark Zuckerberg grew frustrated with the lukewarm reception of the company’s Llama 4 language model, which launched in April. Since then, Zuckerberg has taken a hands-on approach to recruiting AI talent, hosting job candidates at his personal homes and reorganizing Meta’s offices to position the superintelligence team closer to his workspace. ← You may like to read: → Japan Urged To Use Gloomier Population Forecasts After Plunge in Births EVs Are Just Going To Win Are EV ‘Charger Hogs’ Ruining the EV Experience?
