Podcasts about scale ai

What fuels the world's most powerful AI models isn't just data, it's how that data is labeled and given context. In this week's episode, we take listeners inside the often-overlooked world of data labeling, from Meta's $14B investment in Scale AI to the billion-dollar rise of Surge AI, and connect the dots to aquaculture. You'll learn why context-rich data—not just perfect data, is the real driver of better models, and how farms can apply these lessons to turn messy records into predictive intelligence. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n' Bits blog.

In this episode, Jaeden discusses the startup Datumo, which has recently raised $15.5 million to compete with Scale AI in the data labeling market. He explores the company's unique approach to data labeling, its growth trajectory, and the competitive landscape shaped by major players like Scale AI and Meta. The conversation also highlights Datumo's funding journey and future expansion plans, particularly in the U.S. and Japan.Try AI Box: ⁠⁠https://aibox.aiAI Chat YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JaedenSchaferJoin my AI Hustle Community: https://www.skool.com/aihustle/aboutYouTube Video: https://youtu.be/UG7wUgPwbCwChapters00:00 Introduction to Datumo and Market Context03:08 Datumo's Unique Approach to Data Labeling05:48 Industry Dynamics and Competition with Scale AI08:33 Funding Journey and Future Prospects

Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin, the world's first AI software engineer. On Friday last week they pulled off the acquisition of the year, acquiring Windsurf, following their licensing agreement with Google. Previously a world-class competitive programmer, he was a gold medalist at the International Olympiad in Informatics and a member of the U.S. Math and Physics Olympiad teams. Before Cognition, he was a founding engineer at Scale AI, helping shape the early AI infrastructure stack. AGENDA: 00:00 – Why are founders walking away instead of going down with the ship? 01:05 – How did Cognition pull off the $220M Windsurf deal in just 72 hours? 04:45 – What really happened behind closed doors the weekend Windsurf was acquired? 07:15 – Did Google overlook a goldmine in the Windsurf team and IP? 09:00 – Who are the 100 people that secretly shape the future of AI? 12:30 – Can application startups ever gain leverage over foundation model giants like Anthropic? 14:15 – Is coding about to be replaced by simply describing what you want? 17:30 – 50% of new code is AI-written. Where does that go next? 20:45 – “We've gone from 0 to $80M ARR in 6 months. Quietly.” 25:00 – Are IDEs and agents just the training wheels for the real future of software engineering? 28:20 – If you could only back one—OpenAI or Anthropic—who's the better bet? 30:00 – Why has Cognition kept its insane growth a secret… until now?

Latham & Watkins took the perch as Big Law's leading M&A dealmaker in the first half of the year, surging past rival Kirkland & Ellis as things started to look up for firms whose fortunes are closely tied to corporate transactions. Many law firms were expecting a spike in M&A deals in the first quarter of this year, but that largely failed to materialize. Now, with 2025 half over, we're starting to see a lot more activity on this front and firms are reaping the financial benefits. Global deal volume for the first half of the year is up nearly 20% compared to the same time last year, and that includes Meta Platforms' $14 billion investment in Scale AI. In fact, deals involving AI, either directly or indirectly, have been driving a lot of the activity of the past few months, according to reporter Mahira Dayal, who crunched the numbers for Bloomberg Law's quarterly league tables. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Mahira speaks to host Mike Leonard about this and other reasons why the deals market is rebounding after a slow start to the year why it's probably a little too early to start betting against Kirkland.

Manu Sharma, founder and CEO of Labelbox, explains how frontier AI training data has evolved far beyond simple labeling to sophisticated reinforcement learning environments where domain experts create "gyms" for models to develop complex skills. With every Western frontier lab now spending over a billion dollars annually on training data, the conversation traces the shift from supervised learning to reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards, particularly for coding, mathematical reasoning, and computer use. Sharma reveals how Labelbox operates as a vertically integrated data factory, conducting over 2,000 AI-powered expert interviews daily and paying top specialists more than $250,000 annually. The discussion provides essential insights into the red-hot training data market that's reshaping AI development following major deals like Meta's $15B acquisition of Scale AI.

Alles dat fout kon gaan, ging fout tijdens de overname van Just Eat Takeaway. Dat vindt de Vereniging van Effectenbezitters. Aandeelhouders hebben vandaag dan wel zo goed als zeker ingestemd met een overname (door Prosus), toch zit het de beleggersvereniging niet lekker. En dat komt door de rol van Jitse Groen. Ze snappen niet waarom oprichter Jitse Groen mocht onderhandelen over de verkoop van zijn bedrijf. En nog belangrijker: het is totaal niet duidelijk hoeveel geld hij meekrijgt. Groen krijgt een bonus, maar zelf kan hij daar niks over vertellen. Deze aflevering hebben we het over de overnamesoap - en wat de toekomst van Just Eat wordt onder vleugels bij Prosus.Verder gaat het over een vier-letterig probleem voor Apple en dat is Meta. Topman Mark Zuckerberg heeft een belangrijk werknemers weggekaapt en de vrees is dat nu een leegloop dreigt bij Apple. Ook gaat het over de verlengde deadline voor de EU. Ze hebben uitstel gekregen van Trump. Of hebben ze het gevraagd?De vraag is ook of Weight Watchers is gered. Het ging in mei failiet, maar zegt dat ze hun comeback willen maken. Het bedrijf wil terug naar de Nasdaq. De redding voor Weight Watchers: vrouwen in de overgang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

美國史上第一部穩定幣法案，最近在參議院正式通過。一通過，Circle 股價直接從 $31 飆到 $242，暴漲超過八倍。這不只象徵美國從打壓轉向擁抱加密貨幣，更讓一個人合法暴賺——川普。因為這條法案明文寫著：禁止官員持有或經營穩定幣，但總統、副總統除外。沒錯，川普家族最近推出的穩定幣 USD1，才剛透過阿布達比主權基金，完成 20 億美金的大交易。而真正賺最多利息的，可能還不是 Circle，而是背後坐收分潤的 Coinbase。這集我們就來聊聊：

Katie speaks to Arthur Mensch, the 32 year old co-founder and CEO of Mistral AI who believes European sovereignty will be under threat if it does not gain traction in the race for AI supremacy. Plus, does Meta's $15bn investment in Scale AI suggest Mark Zuckerberg is anxious they are falling behind in that same race? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Meta just announced a major move in its AI efforts – investing in Scale AI and building a superintelligence AI research lab.

Today's show:Meta just took a 49% stake in Scale AI, and the shockwaves are hitting the entire AI ecosystem. In this episode, @Jason and @alex unpack the deal's implications: Google ($150M customer!) and others are fleeing Scale, worried Meta will hoard its RLHF infrastructure and cut off competitors. Startups like Labelbox, Turing, and Handshake are already seeing a demand surge. Is this smart vertical integration or anti-competitive overreach?

Aaron McIntire recaps the week's biggest stories, including Lucy Guo, a 30-year-old college dropout, surpassing Taylor Swift as the world's youngest self-made female billionaire with a $1.3 billion net worth from her Scale AI stake, co-founded with Alexandr Wang and backed by Peter Thiel. Concerns mount over Palantir Technologies' alleged contract with the Trump administration to build a centralized database on Americans, countered by ex-employee Wendy Anderson's defense of its data integration tools. Tim Walz and Nate Silver analyze young men's shift toward conservatism, with polls showing conservatives dominate among those with strong mental health. Plus, Stephen Miller slams Democrats' “unsellable ideology,” and fears grow over Chinese-owned properties near U.S. military bases.   Lucy Guo, Taylor Swift, Scale AI, Palantir Technologies, Peter Thiel, Alexandr Wang, Wendy Anderson, Trump administration, centralized database, Tim Walz, Nate Silver, young men voters, conservatism, Stephen Miller, Chinese investments, military bases, national security
