Data-labeling firm Scale AI confirmed on Friday that it has received a "significant" investment from Meta that values the startup at $29 billion.

Mark Zuckerberg is hand-picking top researchers and engineers to join an upcoming AI research lab dedicated to “superintelligence," and Scale AI's Alexandr Wang is on the list.

Zuckerberg is tapping a rising AI power broker after its recent Llama 4 flop and ongoing AI talent departures.
