Cracks are forming in Meta’s partnership with Scale AI

Meta, a leading AI company, has invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI, bringing CEO Alexandr Wang and several top executives to run Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). However, the relationship between the two companies is fraying, with Ruben Mayer leaving Meta after just two months. TBD Labs is working with third-party data labeling vendors other than Scale AI, including Mercor and Surge, two of Scale AI's largest competitors. Meta's deals with third-party data vendors likely mean the company is not putting all its eggs in Scale AI, even after investing billions in the startup. Scale AI has been working with OpenAI and Google since opening its massive investment with Scale AI. Shortly after losing those customers, Scale AI laid off 200 employees in its data labeling business in July, blaming the changes in part on "shifts in market demand." The tensions indicate that Meta's largest AI investment to date may be off to a rocky start, despite its supposed to address the company's AI development challenges.

Microsoft AI launches its first in-house models

Microsoft has introduced its first AI models, MAI-Voice-1 AI and MAI-1-preview, which can generate audio in under one second on a single GPU. The MAI-Voice-1 speech model is already used in Copilot Daily and podcast-style discussions. MAI-1-preview, trained on around 15,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, is designed for users who need an AI model capable of following instructions and providing helpful responses to everyday queries. Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman emphasized that the company's internal AI models are not focused on enterprise use cases but on creating models that work well for the consumer companion. The company plans to roll out MAI-1-preview for certain text use cases in its Copilot AI assistant, which currently relies on OpenAI's large language models. Microsoft AI has also started publicly testing its MAI-1-preview model on the AI benchmarking platform LMArena.

Meta updates chatbot rules to avoid inappropriate topics with teen users

Meta is retraining its AI chatbots to prioritize teen safety, following an investigative report on the company's lack of safeguards for minors. The chatbots will no longer engage with teenage users on self-harm, suicide, disordered eating, or potentially inappropriate romantic conversations. Meta will release more robust safety updates for minors in the future. The company will also limit teen access to certain AI characters that could hold inappropriate conversations, such as sexualized chatbots like "Step Mom" and "Russian Girl." The policy changes are announced just two weeks after a Reuters investigation unearthed an internal Meta policy document that appeared to permit the chatbots to engage in sexual conversations with underage users. The report has sparked sustained controversy over potential child safety risks, with Sen. Josh Hawley and a coalition of 44 state attorneys general writing to a group of AI companies including Meta, emphasizing the importance of child safety.
