Product placement

Meta (a) acts as the company making the investment and launching the app; Scale AI (a) acts as the company being acquired; Muse (a) acts as the AI app being launched and downloaded; Muse Spark (a) acts as the model powering the AI; OpenAI (a) appears as a competitor; Microsoft (a) appears as a client; Google (a) appears as a competitor; Anthropic (a) appears as a source of talent. Removing these names would change the narrative of the business news story.

Original caption

He left MIT after one year to build Scale AI. A decade later, Alexandr Wang was at the center of Meta’s $14.3 billion bet to catch up in AI. The June 2025 deal gave Meta a 49% stake in Scale and brought Wang in to lead its new AI effort. His team released Muse Spark in April 2026, followed by the personal AI agent Muse in September. Muse passed an estimated 5 million downloads in 22 days, according to Sensor Tower. That’s a strong start. The bigger test is whether people keep using it. Swipe to see how Wang went from college dropout to leading Meta’s AI push. More startup and venture stories: vesting.beehiiv.com/subscribe #AI #VentureCapital #Startups #Meta #alexandrwang
