Thinking Machines Lab Soars to $12B Valuation After Mira Murati's OpenAI Exit

Thinking Machines Lab, a new AI startup founded by Mira Murati, has made waves in the tech world. Labcorp, the company, established after Murati's departure from OpenAI, has secured a massive seed funding round, valued at $12 billion. Murati, a former CTO of OpenAI, is a key figure in this venture.

Murati left OpenAI in late 2024, following internal disputes involving the removal of CEO Sam Altman. She then founded Thinking Machines Lab in early 2025, aiming to make AI systems more accessible and customizable. The startup, using AI, completed a seed funding round in mid-2025, raising $2 billion. Andreessen Horowitz led this investment, making it the largest seed round to date.

In early 2025, Apple engaged in talks with Murati about a potential acquisition of Thinking Machines Lab. However, these discussions did not progress significantly. Despite this, the startup's valuation has soared, reaching $12 billion.

Thinking Machines Lab, under the leadership of Mira Murati, has secured substantial funding and a high valuation. The company's mission to improve AI understanding and customization has resonated with investors. While Apple explored an acquisition, the startup continues to operate independently, poised for growth in the AI sector.
