Murati, now CEO of Thinking Machines, revealed that the startup was founded with a team of scientists, engineers, and builders.

The ultimate goal, according to Murati, is to advance AI by making it broadly useful and comprehensible through solid foundations, open science, and practical applications.
Thinking Machines Lab also released a statement, expressing their excitement about the launch of the AI research and product company. The team behind the startup includes scientists, engineers, and builders who have contributed to widely used AI products and libraries, such as ChatGPT, Character.ai, PyTorch, and Mistral.
The company’s mission is to make AI work for everyone by building a future where everyone has access to the knowledge and tools to make AI serve their unique needs. The startup’s approach is committed to open science through publications and code releases, and focuses on human-AI collaboration across diverse domains.
Thinking Machines Lab emphasizes the co-design of research and products to enable learning from real-world deployment and rapid iteration. This work, according to the company, requires three core foundations: state-of-the-art model intelligence, high-quality infrastructure, and advanced multimodal capabilities. The company is committed to building models at the frontier of capabilities to fulfill this promise.
