Thinking Machines Lab reportedly pulled in $2 billion in seed funding at a $10 billion valuation, according to reporting by the Financial Times. The AI startup was founded by Mira Murati, former chief technology officer of OpenAI.
The AI research and product company says its working to democratize access to the knowledge and tools that allow AI to serve individuals’ needs and goals. As AI continues to rapidly advance, Thinking Machines Lab wants to ensure the scientific community maintains a thorough understanding of these systems and their capabilities.
With the help of its new funding, Thinking Machines Lab will likely continue furthering its goal of making AI systems more widely understood, customizable and generally capable. As it does so, the company mentions on its website that it will regularly publish technical blog posts, papers and code for public benefit, to elucidate how these advanced AI systems are trained.
