Google is reportedly considering acquiring Spirit Airlines' enterprise data for approximately $10 million, outbidding Mercor's offer of $7.5 million.
The core assets of this deal include nearly 34 years of internal data from the once-$6B airline, comprising:
- Internal documents and email records
- Operational workflows and processes
- Complete codebases
Commentary suggests that $10 million is a steal given the depth of operational information involved. This highlights the intense demand from tech giants for high-quality, real-world private data to fuel AI training models.
