U.S. eligibility

How this record meets the catalog’s published eligibility policy.

Eligible · basis: U.S. headquarters

Scale AI's official About page lists its headquarters as San Francisco, California. Scale describes Meta's 2025 investment as a minority equity stake and states that it remains independent, so its eligibility rests on its own U.S. headquarters rather than on a parent relationship.12
