Nvidia joins $750m round for US AI training startup Mercor
Nvidia 这次把钱投给了 Mercor 这家做 AI 训练数据的公司，说明 GPU 之外，高质量专业数据也成了兵家必争之地。做模型训练或数据标注的人可以看看这个行业动向，了解资本在往哪个环节流动。
Mercor 是一家总部位于旧金山的初创公司，本轮融资金额为 7.5 亿美元，Nvidia 参与了本轮融资。该公司最初以 AI 招聘平台起步，后来转向 AI 训练与测试业务。
其核心业务是为 AI 模型提供训练数据和评估服务，依托其招聘平台积累的人才网络，招募各领域的专业人员来为模型做高质量标注和测试。Nvidia 作为芯片厂商参投，反映出它正在通过投资把触角延伸到数据与评估环节。
对开发者而言，这类公司的融资规模说明高质量人类专业数据仍然是模型训练中稀缺的资源，训练数据供应链正在成为资本重点布局的方向。
