Thinking Machines Lab, a startup based in San Francisco, has made history with a $2 billion seed round, the largest ever recorded. The company, founded and led by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has attracted top talent from leading AI companies such as Meta, Google, and Mistral AI. This massive financing round, led by Andreessen Horowitz, values the company at $10 billion, setting it apart from other U.S. seed financings, which typically range from $200 million to $450 million. Despite its record size, the funding round comes as no surprise, given the team’s impressive credentials and the high valuations recently achieved by AI leaders like OpenAI. Founded last year, Thinking Machines Lab aims to enhance the understanding and customization of AI systems, and to develop multimodal systems that collaborate effectively with humans.
