Scale marked its tenth anniversary, reporting more than 700 customers served, 15 billion human decisions applied to model development, work across 150 languages and locales, and over $1 billion paid to contributors.

Scale reported that 2025 was its strongest financial year, with more than $1 billion in new business, profitable data operations, and accelerating applications and government work.

Scale announced expansion across New York, London, Washington, D.C., Doha, and St. Louis to support enterprise, government, and international growth.

Scale updated its mission to developing reliable AI systems for the world’s most important decisions, reflecting its expansion from data infrastructure into applications and evaluation.

Scale reduced approximately 200 employee roles and contractor assignments after determining it had expanded its generative-AI capacity too quickly, while prioritizing enterprise, government, and international growth.

Scale announced a restructuring that reduced its employee workforce by roughly 20 percent after expanding too quickly during the prior growth cycle.
