Thinking Machines Lab, a KI startup company, has officially announced a seed financing of 2 billion US dollars, led by the fund Anderson Horowitz. This news has attracted great attention in Silicon Valley and marks the company's value, which has already reached 12 billion US dollars. The company, founded by Mira Murati, former Chief Technology Officer of OpenAI, has attracted numerous well-known investors such as NVIDIA and AMD within less than a year.
It is reported that this financing is not only a milestone for Thinking Machines Lab, but also one of the largest seed financings in the history of Silicon Valley, reflecting the enthusiasm and expectations of investors for new AI projects. Murati said in an interview that the company's first product will be released in the coming months and will include "important open-source projects." She emphasized that these products will provide support for researchers and startups developing custom AI models.
Although it is still unclear which open-source AI models Thinking Machines Lab will release, Murati's remarks have already attracted great attention. According to reports, Meta has held negotiations with the company to acquire it to strengthen its super intelligence project, but ultimately no agreement was reached. This has made Thinking Machines Lab one of the few startups considered potentially threatening to leading AI companies.
At the same time, the rapid development of Thinking Machines Lab reflects the increasing competition in the AI field. In addition to OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepMind from Google are also major players in this area. Investors hope to find the "next ChatGPT" in this round.
The success of Thinking Machines Lab has drawn much attention and motivated more technology experts and entrepreneurs to continuously explore innovations in the AI field, hoping that more breakthroughs and results will emerge in the future.
