Google and Microsoft Reevaluating Ties with Scale AI - Google plans to cancel a $200 million deal with Scale AI, following Meta's significant $14.3 billion investment in AI.

A Scale spokesperson refused to comment on Google's decision but confirmed the company's stable business and independence. Meanwhile, Scale CEO Alexandr Wang has joined Meta to lead superintelligence development efforts.
