Scale AI is an AI data labeling company. Jason Droege, CEO of Scale AI, sent an email to all Scale employees today, which was viewed by The Verge. “The reasons for these changes are straightforward: we ramped up our GenAI capacity too quickly over the past year,” Droege wrote. Scale’s generative AI business unit will have an all-hands meeting tomorrow, followed by a company-wide meeting on July 18th. “We‘re streamlining our data business to help us move faster and deliver even better data solutions to our GenAI customers,” he said.
