Overview


Scale AI is a data platform for AI that provides data labeling, annotation, and model evaluation services. Valued at $7+ billion, Scale has become critical infrastructure for AI companies, providing the high-quality training data that powers models from OpenAI, Meta, and others. The company also offers RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) services.


Scale combines human expertise with AI to label data at massive scale across text, images, video, 3D, and more. The platform is used not only by AI companies but also by autonomous vehicle companies, government agencies, and enterprises building AI systems.
