Today, we’re announcing Scale has closed 1Boffinancingata1B of financing at a 1Boffinancingata13.8B valuation, led by existing investor Accel. For 8 years, Scale has been the leading AI data foundry helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI, including autonomous vehicles, defense applications, and generative AI. With today’s funding, we’re moving into the next phase of our journey: accelerating the abundance of frontier data to pave the road to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). “Our vision is one of data abundance, where we have the means of production to continue scaling frontier LLMs many more orders of magnitude. We should not be data-constrained in getting to GPT-10.” - Alexandr Wang, CEO and founder of Scale AI. This new funding also enables Scale to build upon our prior model evaluation work with enterprise customers, the U.S. Department of Defense, and collaboration with the White House to deepen our capabilities and offerings for both public and private evaluations. There’s a lot left to do. If this challenge excites you, join us: https://scale.com/careersRead the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gVBhaPZ5

📣 Just released: New research from Scale finds long context models are now outperforming traditional methods like RAG and compression in complex tasks. For LLMs, handling extensive inputs—anything greater than 4K tokens—is a challenge. Methods like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and compression are the standard approach to handling complex tasks. Now, a new generation of long context models is beginning to shift the landscape. The machine learning team at Scale explored the strengths and limitations of long context models, uncovering key insights on when to lean on them over other methods like RAG, and what it takes to truly unlock their potential. They found: ✅ Long context models are outperforming traditional methods, RAG and compression, in complex tasks. ✅ The quality and diversity of training data directly correlate with model performance, more than previously understood. ✅ Extending context windows alone is insufficient; comprehensive fine-tuning on long-context data is essential for optimal results. 👉 In addition to detailing their findings, the team put together a guide to help you maximize the potential of long context models.

There is still more work to be done around data as we advance gen AI to its next transformative phase. And one of the most highly-respected minds in the space, Alexandr Wang, the founder and CEO of Scale AI, is building towards this next breakthrough. Two of the biggest challenges, he says, when it comes to data currently, are increasing data complexity (moving toward frontier data), and increasing data abundance (the production of data.) These challenges can be overcome by investing in synthetic data, or "hybrid data" that incorporates human reasoning chains to produce higher-quality data, along with data foundries, Alex shared with a16z Growth's David George. The same way that chip foundries ensure enough means of production for chips, data foundries allow the ability to capture large amounts of data, essential for training generative AI models. For more on these data foundries, and what Alex and his team are making possible with Scale AI, check out the full video with Alex and David George: https://lnkd.in/eBYJs_zn
🍓We added OpenAI’s o1 models to the SEAL LLM Leaderboards and they dominate. Let’s get into it👇 According to OpenAI, the models represent a "new paradigm" for scaling, explaining their remarkable scores across Coding, Precise Instruction Following, and Spanish domains. However, this new paradigm also introduces changes to how we prompt engineer with these models. What’s more, the o1 models can still return wrong answers to trivial "gotcha" questions, like counting the number of "r"s in the word strawberry. In the latest blog from Scale, Riley Goodside, Staff AI Evangelist, explores the strengths and weaknesses of the o1 models and shares his first impressions. He dives into the o1-preview and o1-mini benchmark results and explains how prompt engineering changes in this new paradigm of LLM reasoning. Read here: https://lnkd.in/ggYpNQsE
We’re thrilled to welcome Jason Droege as Scale’s Chief Strategy Officer. Prior to joining our team, he helped launch Uber Eats and the video & cloud business unit at Axon and founded several companies. “When people ask why I joined Scale, I tell them it’s about the opportunity to be a part of the most fundamental change happening in technology in my lifetime. I’ve been lucky enough to start companies and live through the phases of the internet back to the days of dial up and this is the most significant shift yet.” Learn about Jason’s career journey and read why he joined Scale: https://lnkd.in/dVm-hcNu
Today we’re releasing two new SEAL LLM leaderboards: Agentic Tool Use (Chat) and Agentic Tool Use (Enterprise). The leaderboards measure how well leading LLMs, including OpenAI’s o1-preview, are able to use external tools including Python Interpreter and Google Search. See how they rank: https://lnkd.in/gRbsmERa
