Meta Platforms Shifts AI Strategy from Perplexity Talks to Scale AI Investment
Meta Platforms Shifts AI Strategy from Perplexity Talks to Scale AI Investment
10
1
Meta Platforms engaged in acquisition discussions with Perplexity AI, an AI search startup, before pivoting to a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI. The deal grants Meta a 49% stake and installs Scale CEO Alexandr Wang to lead its AGI-focused "superintelligence" division. This strategic MOVE underscores Meta's transition from narrow AI applications toward artificial general intelligence systems capable of human-like reasoning.
The abandoned Perplexity talks highlight the competitive dynamics in AI infrastructure. Scale AI's human-in-the-loop training model for generative AI aligns with Meta's need for high-quality data pipelines. Neither party has publicly commented on the terminated negotiations.
