多家顶尖AI实验室都是这家初创公司的客户。不过,它们或许不愿意继续将数据交给一家近半数股权归属马克·扎克伯格旗下科技帝国的公司了。Scale方 面否认大客户OpenAI削减了购买其服务的支出。 原文标题:《Scale与Meta近期达成交易,而OpenAI数月前便逐步缩减与Scale的合作》 Scale AI以150亿美元向Meta出售49%股权的交易震惊业界,创始人兼首席执行官Alexandr Wang更宣布将离开亲手创立的公司,转投这家科技巨头,领导 其全新的AI实验室。 这一系列变动引发外界猜测:这家估值140亿美元的数据标注企业可能因此流失客户,被竞争对手抢占市场。 Scale为各大科技公司和AI初创企业提供数据标注服务,助其训练模型,并已发展成该领域的龙头企业。此次交易的核心关切在于,被收购后,Scale可能 会向Meta分享领先AI机构用于构建最前沿技术的数据类型细节。 正如一位前Scale员工向《福布斯》透露的那样:"现在大家都想切断和Scale的合作。一旦Scale成为Meta的一部分,其商业模式将彻底崩塌。" 据四位知情人士透露,Scale最知名的客户之一OpenAI已逐步缩减与它的合作,其中 ...
