Mira Murati's Thinking Machines seeks $50 billion valuation in funding talks: Bloomberg

Thinking Machines Lab, the artificial intelligence startup founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, is in early talks to raise a new funding round at a roughly $50 billion valuation, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.

The startup was last valued at $12 billion in July, after it raised about $2 billion.

Some sources told Bloomberg that Thinking Machines is looking at a valuation of about $50 billion, while others said it could rise to closer to $55 billion or $60 billion.


The deal terms have not yet been finalized and could change, the report added.

Thinking Machines did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The development follows a Wall Street Journal report last month that said Andrew Tulloch, cofounder of Thinking Machines, left the AI company to join Meta Platforms.

It launched its first product called Tinker, which helps fine-tune language models in October.
