AI startup Thinking Machines Lab has reportedly secured a massive $2 billion seed funding round, doubling its initial target. The deal would value the company at “at least” $10 billion if successful. Despite having no product or revenue, the startup’s convincing pitch lies in its roster of high-profile AI researchers, including former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, and notable experts Bob McGrew and Alec Radford. The new funding will likely support Thinking Machines Lab’s aim to develop more accessible, customizable, and capable AI systems than those currently available.
