"The new Scale/Department of Defense deal is beginning with a $41 million award to Scale for advanced data labeling, the company told us, and has a ceiling of $100 million over five years. Along with providing labeling services, Scale is licensing three different applications to the DoD. First, there's its GenAI Platform - an end-to-end testbed for building, testing, and deploying defense and intel-specific AI models."
"And finally, the DoD is getting access to Scale Data Engine, which it describes as a machine vision AI that can "turn ... raw, sensitive data into the high-quality, AI-ready fuel needed to build reliable and effective models," the company said. "The promise of AI for national security can only be realized if it operates where the mission happens and on the most sensitive data," Scale AI's Jason Droege said in a press release provided to The Register."
Scale AI partnered with the Pentagon to deploy its AI on Top Secret networks under a deal that begins with a $41 million award and a $100 million ceiling over five years. The contract covers data labeling and licenses three applications: GenAI Platform for building and deploying defense- and intelligence-specific models, Donovan for generative decision-making from unstructured data, and Scale Data Engine for converting raw sensitive data into AI-ready vision inputs. Scale conducted two years of prototype work with the DoD's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office previously. The company emphasized operating AI within classified environments to realize national security benefits.
