Mira Murati's startup secured a multi-year deal with NVIDIA for at least 1 gigawatt of next-generation Vera Rubin chip-powered servers, plus an undisclosed equity investment. The company has raised over $2 billion since its February 2025 founding. A gigawatt of compute — roughly enough to power 750,000 US homes — signals Murati intends to compete at frontier scale against her former employer. Lilian Weng (formerly VP of Research at OpenAI, author of the canonical "LLM Powered Autonomous Agents" blog series) is now co-founder. The Murati + Weng + gigawatt NVIDIA compute combination is a serious new competitor entry. NVIDIA Blog | CNBC
