Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati started her new entrepreneurial journey after she suddenly left OpenAI last fall. Recently, she revealed to the outside world that she is preparing for a new AI startup called "Thinking Machines Lab". Although specific product details have not been disclosed, the company made it clear that its goal is to make AI systems easier to understand, customizable, and have a wider range of capabilities.
Thinking Machine Lab wants to provide users with a way to collaborate with AI, rather than developing completely autonomous systems. "We are building a future where everyone has access to knowledge and tools to enable AI to serve their unique needs and goals," the company said in a press release. This vision demonstrates Murati's vision for future AI applications, committed to enabling more people to master and use this technology.
To achieve this, Murati is actively forming a top AI team. She recently recruited OpenAI co-founder John Schulman as research director, while another former OpenAI executive, Barrett Zoph, became the company's chief technology officer (CTO). According to The Verge, Schulman has been helping build the team and meeting researchers just a few blocks from OpenAI's headquarters. In addition, Jonathan Lachman, who once led the OpenAI Special Project Department, also joined the Murati entrepreneurial team.
Thinking Machine Lab promises to release technical research and code regularly to ensure a certain degree of openness and transparency. This approach reflects Murati’s emphasis on building a trusted and open AI ecosystem. With the joining of these top talents, the company looks forward to gaining a foothold in the rapidly developing AI field and promoting the popularization and application of AI technology.
Murati's re-launched widespread attention in the industry, and industry insiders are looking forward to what innovations and breakthroughs the Thinking Machine Lab can bring.
