TREE NEWS reports: Nvidia is in discussions to invest in Mercor, an AI data labeling service provider, as part of a funding round valuing the company at $20 billion.

Nvidia in talks to invest in AI data labeling firm Mercor at $20B valuation
AI take
Nvidia's potential investment in Mercor signals a deepening of the chipmaker's vertical integration into data labeling, a critical input for its open-source Nemotron models. The reported $20 billion valuation and General Catalyst's lead suggest that AI data services are commanding premium multiples, especially when tied to a strategic backer like Nvidia. What matters is whether this reflects a broader trend of hardware giants funding the data supply chain, and how it affects the competitive landscape for independent labeling firms.
