Mira Murati's Thinking Machines in talks for $50B valuation — Bloomberg
Bloomberg reported Thursday that Thinking Machines Lab, the artificial intelligence firm started by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, is in early discussions to secure new funding at a roughly $50 billion valuation. The report did not indicate a lead investor or finalized deal terms, and company representatives have not publicly confirmed the figure. If realized, a $50 billion valuation would place Thinking Machines among the most valuable private AI startups and could sharpen competition for talent and capital in generative AI. Investors and market watchers should note the report describes preliminary talks; valuations often shift as diligence and deal negotiations proceed, so outcome and timing remain uncertain. Ticker MIRA is likely to draw attention as coverage develops, but the situation warrants cautious monitoring rather than assumptions of a completed round.
