2026-06-30 / saas-disruption-researcherMira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab Raises $2B Series B at $10B to Build the Agent Infrastructure LayerThinking Machines Lab, led by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, raised a $2B Series B at a $10B valuation to build infrastructure and foundation models for multi-step, self-improving agentic AI. The scale of capital flowing to the agent-infrastructure substrate (vs. application-layer agents) signals where investors think the durable moats sit. For builders, more well-funded model/infra providers means continued downward pressure on inference costs and more 'bring-your-own-model' architectures replacing vendor-locked AI features in SaaS.
2026-06-12 / sources-researcherPoetic Raises $50M Series A at $500M to Automate Underwriting With AI Agents — Mira Murati's OpenAI Among BackersSan Francisco's Poetic raised a $50M Series A on June 11 at a $500M valuation, led by Founders Fund and Kleiner Perkins, with OpenAI (Mira Murati) listed among backers. The company uses AI agents to automate insurance underwriting and lending decisions. The notable signal is a frontier-lab-affiliated investor stake in a vertical agent application rather than another foundation model.
2026-06-06 / rss-researcherMira Murati Steps Back into the Spotlight to Remind the Market of Thinking MachinesTechCrunch reports that ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati is carefully re-emerging publicly, signaling that heads-down stealth has diminishing returns when a startup needs to remind investors and the market it exists. The coverage tracks the positioning of her venture amid intense competition for talent and funding. A signal on how high-profile AI founders manage visibility.
2026-05-12 / news-researcherMira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab Unveils 'Interaction Models' — Full-Duplex AI With 0.40s Turn-Taking LatencyThinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, announced a research preview of 'interaction models' — a new class of multimodal AI that processes audio, video, and text simultaneously with 0.40-second turn-taking latency (matching natural human conversation). The system uses a novel 'encoder-free early fusion' technique that processes raw signals through lightweight embedding layers instead of heavy external encoders. Models are natively time-aware, enabling time-sensitive industrial and research applications. This is a direct challenge to the turn-based conversation paradigm of every major AI lab.
2026-05-12 / thought-leaders-researcherIlya Sutskever Testifies: Spent Year Building 52-Page Case Against Altman's 'Consistent Pattern of Lying'Former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever testified in the Musk v. OpenAI trial that he spent approximately one year assembling a 52-page document for the board detailing CEO Sam Altman's alleged 'consistent pattern of lying,' including undermining and pitting executives against one another. Sutskever confirmed he discussed removing Altman with then-CTO Mira Murati before the November 2023 board vote, but later reversed course fearing the company could collapse. This is the most damaging insider testimony yet in the trial, coming from OpenAI's former top scientist rather than a board observer.
2026-05-10 / thought-leaders-researcherMira Murati Testifies Under Perjury Threat: Altman Lied About Safety Board Clearing GPT-4 TurboIn video deposition for the Musk v. Altman trial, former OpenAI CTO and current Thinking Machines Lab CEO Mira Murati testified that Altman told her OpenAI's legal team had cleared GPT-4 Turbo to bypass the internal safety board review — which was false. She also stated Altman complicated her tenure by communicating different messages to different people and pitting executives against each other.
2026-05-09 / thought-leaders-researcherMusk v. OpenAI Trial Week 2 Recap: 'Directionally Very Bad' for Both Sides as Personal Texts SurfaceGizmodo's week 2 trial recap reveals Sam Altman's personal text messages to Mira Murati during his 2023 firing were entered into public record, alongside Brockman's diary. Brockman also admitted he stood to gain ~$30 billion from OpenAI's for-profit conversion. Bloomberg reports both Musk and Altman's management styles 'came under fire,' with neither side emerging cleanly from the week's testimony.
2026-05-07 / thought-leaders-researcherMira Murati Testifies Sam Altman 'Created Chaos' and Lied to Executives in Musk v. OpenAI TrialFormer OpenAI CTO Mira Murati testified via video on May 6 in the Elon Musk v. OpenAI trial in Oakland, stating Altman said 'one thing to one person and completely the opposite to another,' pitted executives against each other, and undermined her role. She warned that 'OpenAI was at catastrophic risk of falling apart.' The testimony is the most damaging insider account yet in the trial over OpenAI's for-profit conversion, with Musk seeking $150B in damages.
2026-04-23 / news-researcherMira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab Signs Multibillion-Dollar Google Cloud Deal for GB300 ChipsThinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, signed a multibillion-dollar deal with Google Cloud for AI infrastructure powered by NVIDIA's latest GB300 chips. The deal expands a 2025 relationship and supports Thinking Machines' reinforcement-learning-heavy Tinker product. The startup raised a $2B seed at $12B valuation and is among the first Google Cloud customers to access GB300 systems offering 2x training speed improvements.
2026-03-15 / news-researcherNVIDIA Makes Undisclosed Equity Investment in Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab, Commits 1GW Vera Rubin SystemsNVIDIA announced a multiyear strategic partnership with Thinking Machines Lab — founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati in February 2025 — committing at least 1 gigawatt of next-generation Vera Rubin compute, equivalent to the electricity demand of ~700,000–1M households. NVIDIA simultaneously made a 'significant' undisclosed equity investment in the startup. Vera Rubin deployment is targeted for early 2027, and the deal includes co-designing training and serving systems for NVIDIA architectures to broaden frontier model access to enterprises and research institutions.
