Scale AI faces large intermediary payloads and brittle linear pipelines so it builds a generic run card activity that always reads from and writes to a centralized data set service and passes URI links between cards instead of chunky activity returns. Workflows become simple loops of cards, joins happen with DuckDB joins on links to produce new datasets, Python transforms run as spawned child workflows, and the UI drives execution interactively via Temporal signals to add and run cards step by step.
