$40Breported valuation of Thinking Machines Lab
Thinking Machines Lab, the AI company founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, is raising $5 billion in a round led by the venture firm Accel, Business Insider reported, according to AI Weekly's edition of November 6.
The round values the company at $40 billion before the new money. That is about triple its last reported valuation of roughly $12 billion. Nvidia is in talks to invest about $2.5 billion.
Why it matters
The report landed in the same week that public investors sold AI stocks at the fastest pace in more than a year. Private money, so far, has not followed.
It also shows how Nvidia's cash returns to its own customers. A startup funded by Nvidia spends much of that funding on Nvidia chips.
