With the markets in Freefall and a few outputs that can now seem to be impossible to breed $ 2 billion. If perhaps, perhaps You’re a peace murati.
Murati, former Openai Technical Director, soon began her lab cars thinking Leaving Openai Last fall and the fundraising process for the company was performed with the intensity of the horse race.
Last: Business Insider reported the launch of AI Murati He seeks to raise $ 2 billion. If it is true, this is an unhappy number that can be the biggest tour of the seeds in the history of technology. Given the madness of investors for AI – and for the startup AI, in particular, with a certain ancestral – a massive amount is not as implausible as it might seem like first.
Take, for example, the co -founder of Openai Ilya SutsKever worth $ 1 billion for our new startup, a safe superstal that reports reports reached the monster by $ 30 billion. Another touch point: Sierra, a spoken startup agent AI founded by Brest Taylor, chairman of Openai and former Seller The employee, who began in 2023 and last $ 4.5 billion.
Thus, the name Openai orders dollars, which is very clear. And in addition to Murat itself, the “Thinking Machines” team is stuffed with Openai talents, from Alec Radford Advisers and Bob McGro to Chief Scientific John Shulman. Shulman, co -founder Openai, who headed Chatgpt’s development, left Openai in August, and after an incredibly short stay in anthrop, jumped on the ship specifically to unite with Murati. .
In the report of the mega-seeding of Murat Marty and the thinking of the machine do not confirm this and do not comment, they are confident that they again revise the discussion about the state of AI Bubble, especially against the background of the flying economic climate created by Trump.
Some observers wondered whether he reached the maximum -boum with a mixed reaction of Wall -Stat IPO Coreweave and A recent microsoft rollback On a number of AI infrastructure projects. Vcs, additionally, there SqueezeAs a lack of exits, it makes a tougher money rail in LPS.
So, if cars thinking attracts $ 2 billion from investors, it will be a strong signal that AI Boom has a serious feet. And, of course, AI Bulls will say that $ 2 billion is a bucket drop compared to the wide potential of the company.
But it is also important to think about it in the context outside the ah-boom-passing tours are constantly becoming increasingly becoming increasing, and the high costs for the development of AI have just begun this trend to high groups. In 2015, the largest seed deal was for the Femtech Pharma Startup Addyi, which included $ 50 million, Pitchbook reports. In 2025, PitchBook called Lila Sciences as the largest closed deal – $ 200 million.
The seeds that become radically greater are a sign of time, and the testimony of the interest of Murati highly active in itself, but it is also a tendency that precedes our modern economic whirlwind.
