· Week of 10 Oct to 16 Oct 2026
The week in AI training work: micro1 passes a $1B run rate, Labelbox raises $100M, open roles hold steady
On the 12 platforms we read the same way all week, open AI training roles ended exactly where they began: 1,552 on 10 Oct and 1,552 at the end of 16 Oct 2026, as 140 new listings replaced 140 removals. The board as a whole grew from 2,547 to 3,635 open roles, but almost all of that is how we read it, not the market: 12 platforms' own job boards were read for the first time, and the copies of other platforms' roles that OpenTrain AI re-lists were dropped.
