AINewsBreaks – Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) Snags Apple AI Lead With Over $200M Deal

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is reportedly preparing to invest approximately $14.8 billion for a 49% stake in Scale AI, a leading provider of data-labeling services critical to AI model training. As part of the deal, Scale AI’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, will join Meta to spearhead a new “superintelligence” lab alongside a 50‑person research team personally led by Mark Zuckerberg. The move comes in the wake of underperforming Llama 4 and delays to the “Behemoth” flagship AI model, making this Meta’s boldest strategic pivot in AI to date.

On the regulatory front, U.S. antitrust authorities—particularly the FTC and DOJ—are scrutinizing even minority investments under Clayton Act provisions, raising questions about whether Meta can sidestep past regulatory hurdles related to Instagram and WhatsApp. Proponents, however, note that Scale AI’s projected revenue doubling to over $2 billion in 2025 and early investor gains may help justify the deal.

As of June 11, 2025, Meta stock (NASDAQ: META) is trading at $700.45, down $1.95 (–0.28%) on the day. Intraday trading has ranged between $697.72–$708.54, on volume of approximately 4.8 million shares.
