Alexandr Wang (@alexandr_wang) started Scale AI to help machine learning teams label data faster. It started as a simple API for human labor, but behind the scenes, he was tackling a much bigger problem: how to turn messy, real-world data into something AI could learn from.

@ycombinator @alexandr_wang I believe prioritize building tools that don’t just automate but amplify human judgment, because messy real-world data won’t clean itself. Layering solid APIs on human-in-the-loop workflows is where the real magic starts.

@ycombinator @alexandr_wang That's a really inspiring story for all those who want to build in AI. Being first to build in AI comes with rewards as well as difficulties. It's difficult to predict future patterns and demands. Congratulations on the big achievement.

@ycombinator @alexandr_wang I don't think we should compare ourselves to alexander, what he did is insanely impressive but it's a mix of right time and an outlier scenario, like the dot com bubble I feel. 99% of founders aren't the bill gates, the zuck, but wang is in that 1% for sure.

@ycombinator @alexandr_wang Have a look at this project- it is a real answering machine that is being livestreamed in TikTok that anyone can call and leave a message to the viewing audience @theB33P … not sure if that’s the type of real world data you are seeking though haha. https://t.co/avJVqvCRCf

@ycombinator @alexandr_wang Incredible journey. From labeling data to powering AI at national scale — true infrastructure play. @vendorapp, we’re on a similar path in vendor ops: turning messy workflows into structured, scalable systems that teams can actually build on. ⚙️📊 #AIinfra #StartupToScale
