I’ve been following Thinking Machines Lab since we first heard that former high-ranking OpenAI executive Mira Murati left the ChatGPT developer to start her own AI venture, wondering what sort of AI product Murati and her growing team of AI researchers would deliver. Less than a year since Murati left OpenAI, we now have news of a commercial AI product from Thinking Machines Lab, which arrived after a record seed funding round. Reports said that Thinking Machines Lab was seeking $2 billion in funding at a $10 billion valuation. Murati’s startup beat that, scoring over $2 billion in seed money at a $12 billion valuation. It’s no wonder Murati had to make a public announcement regarding the company’s commercial plans. Thinking Machines Lab must have some promising AI on its hands if it was able to convince investors to fork over that sort of money. Then again, AI continues to be the hottest thing in town. Investors are dying to fund the right project, and Thinking Machines Lab might be one. We don’t have any specifics about the Thinking Machines Lab product(s) that are coming soon, but Murati did say the company will introduce its first product in the coming months and that the AI tool will have an open-source component.

Full story : Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab will be launching its first AI tool soon after its mega funding round.
