Klarna’s super app comeback.

What we’ll cover today:

📌 Scale AI says it’s still indie after Meta’s $14B buy-in

📌 Klarna’s back with AI-powered mobile plans and super app dreams

📌 Why SaaS leaders are split on AI consolidation

Scale AI Says “We’re Still in the Game” 🧠

Meta just bought 49% of Scale AI (yep, $14.3B stake!) but the company says it’s not selling out or shutting shop.

🚨Breaking News:
Scale’s interim CEO says they’re staying independent, even as Meta scoops up nearly half and big clients like OpenAI and Google walk away.

⚡Wire Simplified:

• Meta now owns 49% of Scale AI (but has no voting power)

• Scale’s founder plus a few team members are joining Meta

• CEO says Scale is still "well resourced" and very much independent

• OpenAI and Google are quietly leaving as clients

• Scale plans to keep working with all AI models, not just Meta

✔️Straight to the Point:
Scale AI got a giant Meta-sized check but insists it’s not changing course. Customers, however, seem a little less sure.

• Klarna wants to go from BNPL to full service financial assistant

• Past super app attempts flopped due to complexity
