Scale AI CEO Jason Droege reported sales rebounded after Alexandr Wang left the company he founded almost a year ago. Scale AI expects to top $1 billion in revenue this year following $870 million the prior year. The company secured new contracts including a $500 million Department of Defense award last week for Project Thunderforge. Scale AI joined Palantir and Anduril as contractors on the $185 billion Golden Dome project last month. Droege emphasized the shift to enterprise AI applications with annualized revenue of $200 million and plans to overtake data labeling within 18 months.
