Artificial intelligence companies are businesses that create, sell, or use smart computer systems that learn from data to do tasks usually done by people. They build tools like chatbots, image and speech recognition, and recommendation engines, and offer them as apps, cloud services, or APIs. Some design special chips and platforms that run these systems faster. Others help clients set up AI, clean data, and connect it to work. These companies serve many fields like healthcare, finance, retail, transport, and more. They usually aim to cut costs, reduce errors, and speed decisions. Good AI firms also focus on safety, fairness, privacy, and use of data.

Business Insider noted that Scale maintains one of the largest contributor networks, with hundreds of thousands of gig workers across Outlier and Remotasks platforms.
Scale’s GenAI Platform is pitched for building and governing agentic solutions over enterprise data, and the Data Engine underpins RLHF, evaluations, safety, and alignment work used by leading model developers.
For public sector and defense use cases, Scale promotes Donovan, a suite for deploying specialized AI agents for mission-critical workflows, with U.S. federal customers referenced on its site.
In September 2025, Scale launched SEAL Showdown, a public LLM leaderboard based on real-user preferences, expanding its SEAL evaluation suite beyond private tests.
Scale also introduced agentic leaderboards (e.g., SWE-Bench Pro and MCP Atlas) to gauge how well AI agents handle complex, multi-step tasks.

In 2024, AMD’s Data Center segment revenue reached USD 12.6 billion, up 94% year over year, driven by the ramp of Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs.
AMD posted a record USD 7.69–7.70 billion in Q2 2025 revenue; Data Center revenue was USD 3.2 billion (up 14% YoY), with MI308 shipments to China cited as a headwind.
AMD announced Instinct MI350 (2025) and previewed MI400 (targeting 2026), projecting up to 10× inference gains versus MI355X in engineering estimates.
AMD introduced the Helios AI server rack, designed around 72 MI400 chips per unit to compete with Nvidia’s NVL72-class systems.
AMD launched ROCm 7 and the AMD Developer Cloud to give developers on-demand access to Instinct MI300 GPUs with pre-configured environments and credits.
AMD states that 7 of the 10 largest model builders (including OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, and xAI) are running production workloads on Instinct GPUs.

Tesla began deploying FSD (Supervised) v14 in October 2025, bringing much of its Robotaxi model to consumers with better handling of complex scenarios like road-debris avoidance and emergency-vehicle yielding.
The company expanded its AI training compute to about 81,000 H100-equivalent GPUs (project “Cortex”) and announced a U.S. deal with Samsung to manufacture advanced semiconductors for AI inference and training.
Tesla launched a Bay Area ride-hailing service using Robotaxi tech and broadened the Austin pilot; its Robotaxi iOS app is now open to everyone in the U.S. and Canada to join the waitlist.
The Q3-2025 update shows cumulative FSD (Supervised) miles in the multi-billion range and accelerating since v12, indicating rapid real-world data collection.
Tesla’s safety data reported one crash every 6.69 million miles with Autopilot engaged in Q2 2025, versus one every 963,000 miles without Autopilot.
A subsequent Q3 2025 safety update cited one crash every 6.36 million miles with Autopilot, continuing to show lower crash frequency when Autopilot is used.
Regulators gave Tesla its first CPUC permit step toward a California robotaxi service in March 2025 (additional permits are still required for commercial operations).
Tesla also stated plans to remove robotaxi safety monitors in some areas by year-end and to expand to 8–10 U.S. states by end-2025, contingent on regulation.
On the Q3 call, Elon Musk said TSMC and Samsung will work on Tesla’s next-gen AI5 chip, underscoring a continued push on in-house AI silicon.
