OpenAI raises $2B for mysterious Thinking Machines Lab

OpenAI raises $2B for mysterious Thinking Machines Lab
Ilya Sutskever, one of OpenAI's co-founders, has launched a new research startup called Thinking Machines Lab focused on developing artificial general intelligence (AGI). As highlighted in TechCrunch’s “Found” podcast, the startup has already raised a staggering $2 billion in seed funding—despite having no announced product, team, or business model.

Experts are calling it “built-in chaos” as the investment relies heavily on faith in the founder and the AGI vision, rather than concrete milestones.

The podcast explores how investor enthusiasm for AGI is leading to unusually large capital injections in stealth-mode ventures, as they aim to buy into what they hope is the future of AI.
