The social media giant has reportedly secured a major stake in <a href=\"https:\/\/digitrendz.blog\/z\/entity\/scale-ai\/\" class=\"acp-entity-link\" data-entity-id=\"3637\" data-entity-category=\"Organization\" title=\"Learn more about Scale AI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scale AI<\/a>, a leading provider of data annotation and model assessment services used by top tech firms.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This strategic partnership positions <a href=\"https:\/\/digitrendz.blog\/z\/entity\/meta\/\" class=\"acp-entity-link\" data-entity-id=\"252\" data-entity-category=\"Organization\" title=\"Learn more about Meta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meta<\/a> to leverage Scale AI\u2019s expertise in refining <a href=\"https:\/\/digitrendz.blog\/z\/tech-news\/236425\/medly-ai-raises-8m-to-give-every-uk-exam-student-an-ai-tutor\/\" class=\"acp-article-link\" data-article-id=\"236425\" title=\"Medly AI raises $8M to give every UK exam student an AI tutor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">large language models<\/a> and machine learning systems.
