Meta is making a $14.3 billion investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting its CEO Alexandr Wang to join a team developing “superintelligence” at the tech giant.

Meta’s deal to sort-of but not really acquire AI startup Scale, giving it 49% ownership, is certainly unusual.

A handful of venture capital firms are set to see huge returns from their early bets on Scale AI, following Meta Platforms Inc.’s $14.3 billion mega investment in the artificial intelligence startup.
