Scale AI is an artificial intelligence infrastructure and software company based in San Francisco, founded in 2016 by Alexandr Wang and Lucy Guo through the Y Combinator programme. It supplies the training data that machine learning models are built on, running a large distributed contractor workforce that labels images and sensor data, writes and ranks model responses for reinforcement learning from human feedback, and red teams and evaluates large language models. Alongside that service it sells enterprise software for building and deploying AI applications, and it operates the Remotasks and Outlier annotation platforms. Customers have included Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, General Motors and the United States Department of Defense, which awarded it a 250 million dollar federal contract in 2022 and the Thunderforge military planning programme in March 2025. Jason Droege, previously chief strategy officer, took over as chief executive in June 2025 when Wang left the company.
Source
Scale AI, Inc. files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from Scale AI (Wikipedia), Scale AI announces next phase of company evolution (company blog) and Scale AI confirms significant investment from Meta, says CEO Alexandr Wang is leaving (TechCrunch, 13 June 2025). The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- Meta Platforms, Inc., as of 31 Dec 2025. The $13.80bn is Meta's carrying value under the measurement alternative at 31 Dec 2025, taken from Note 5 of the FY2025 10-K, which describes it as a minority investment closed during 2025 over which Meta does not have significant influence. That figure is filed. The 49 percent non-voting stake is press reporting summarised via web search: it was not confirmed against a primary page fetched in this task, so the percentage should be treated as reported, not filed. Press also puts the deal size at $14.3bn, above the $13.80bn carrying value. source
What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Scale AI, Inc. where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
