Scale AI is an AI data startup that has raised a $1 billion fund in a late-stage funding round led by Accel.  The startup offers data-labeling services to companies working with machine learning models. The  funding round was led by venture capital firm Accel and had participation from tech giants like Amazon,  Nvidia, and Meta.  

Scale AI has raised a total fund of $600 million in its eight-year, including the fund raised in the series  F round the startup now has a valuation of $13.8 billion. Apart from these tech giants such as Amazon  and Meta, Scale AI has attracted other new investors including Cisco, Intel, AMD, and more.

AI startups are in demand for AI chips  and machine learning, this continuous growth of the AI sector is helping the startup to get a boost in  fundraising.  

This California-based AI data startup provides data used to train AI applications and machine learning  models. This sector got an increase in interest from investors since ChatGPT released its large language  model in 2022. Most data we find is unstructured and AI systems find it difficult to use such data and  it needs to be labeled, especially in large data sets. This is where Scale AI comes into play, this startup  provides companies with data that has been correctly labeled and annotated for training machine  learning models. A self-driving company needs labeled data from cameras to work on the system and  Natural Language Processing users need annotated text to work on. 

Scale AI has known tech giants as its clients such as Microsoft, Toyota, Meta, GM, the U.S. Department  of Defense, and OpenAI. The California-based startup is planning to use the fund to scale up operations and enhance its technology. According to a report by Techcrunch, they will use it to accelerate the  “abundance of frontier data that will pave our road to artificial general intelligence.”
