Mira Murati’s thought laboratory closes at $ 2B to an assessment of $ 10b

Thinking Machines Lab, the startup secretary of AI founded by former Openai Technology Director, Mira Murati, has closed a seed round of $ 2 billion, according to The Financial Times. The agreement values ​​the six -month startup at $ 10 billion.

The company’s work remains unclear. The startup has taken advantage of the reputation of Murati and other high -profile AI researchers who have joined the team to attract investors in what could be the largest seed round in history. According to sources familiar with the agreement cited by the FT, Andreessen Horowitz directed the round, with the participation of Sarah Guo’s conviction members.

Murati left openai last September after leading the development of some of the company’s most outstanding products, including Chatgpt, Dall-E and Voice Mode. Several of his former Operai colleagues have joined the new startup, including co -founder John Schulman.

Murati is one of the few executives who left Openai after expressing concerns about the leadership of CEO Sam Altman in 2023. When the Board overthrew Altman in November of that year, Murati served as an interim CEO before Altman was quickly restored.
