Thinking Machines Lab launches with $2B funding for multimodal AI
By
–
We have been working hard for the past 6 months on what I believe is the most ambitious multimodal AI program in the world. It is fantastic to see how pieces of a system that previously seemed intractable just fall into place. Feeling so lucky to create the future with this talented and aligned team. Mira Murati (@miramurati) Thinking Machines Lab exists to empower humanity through advancing collaborative general intelligence. We're building multimodal AI that works with how you naturally interact with the world – through conversation, through sight, through the messy way we collaborate. We're excited that in the next couple months we’ll be able to share our first product, which will include a significant open source component and be useful for researchers and startups developing custom models. Soon, we’ll also share our best science to help the research community better understand frontier AI systems. To accelerate our progress, we’re happy to confirm that we’ve raised $2B led by a16z with participation from NVIDIA, Accel, ServiceNow, CISCO, AMD, Jane Street and more who share our mission. We’re always looking for extraordinary talent that learns by doing, turning research into useful things. We believe AI should serve as an extension of individual agency and, in the spirit of freedom, be distributed as widely and equitably as possible. We hope this vision resonates with those who share our commitment to advancing the field. If so, join us. thinkingmachines.paperform.c… — https://nitter.net/miramurati/status/1945166365834535247#m

We're about to see leaps in innovation that don't come from engineers. Instead, they'll come from people who've never gotten to build before.
