Thinking Machines Lab, a company of artificial intelligence, founded by the best researchers who escaped from Opeli, collected a record round of $ 2 billion, which a valued company worth $ 12 billion.
The funding round was led by Andreessen Horowitz and included Nvidia, Accel, Cisco and AMD – among others. The gnonna investment reflects the ultra -competitive race for the construction of advanced AI systems, as well as Premium on the highest AI talent. This is the largest seed financing round in history.
Thinking machines are run by CEO Mira Murati, which gave way as the Openai technology director in September last year. Her co -founders are John Schulman, an IT specialist who helped build chatgpt; Barrett ZOPH, former president of Openai research; Lilian Weng, who worked on the safety and robotics of AI in the company; Andrew Tullch, who worked on pre -accumulating and reasoning; and Luke Metz, who worked on training at Opeli. The machine thinking laboratory confirmed the team to the cable on Tuesday, for the first time they did it publicly.
Murad He said in the post on x On Tuesday, that thinking machines develop multimodal artificial intelligence that will interact with people “through conversation, sight, through the sloppy way in which we work”. She added that the company will spend its first product in the next few months, noting that the release “will contain a significant Open Source component and will be useful for researchers and startups developing custom models.” She said that the company would also publish research “to help the research community in a better understanding of AI Frontier systems.”
In just over a decade, AI moved from researchers to high rates and high drama investments, recruitment and madness.
The drama has reached a recent level in recent months when they talk about AI, such as OpenAI, approaching AI at human or superhuman level. (The machine thinking laboratory was particularly still on this front – at least so far).
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, also shook the industry, luring the best researchers to the recent superintelligence laboratory with the promises of the payment packages of many millions of dollars. Zuckerberg managed to introduce several OpenAI researchers to the recent project. Given their importance and specialist knowledge, they are very likely to co -founders of thinking machines. However, the company refused to comment on this matter.
