About Thinking Machines Lab
Thinking Machines Lab is an American artificial-intelligence company founded in 2025 by former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati and other senior researchers. Murati leads the company, which builds customizable frontier models and tools that let organizations adapt artificial intelligence to their own data and work. Its first products focus on model customization, fine-tuning and research infrastructure rather than a general consumer assistant. Thinking Machines Lab remains privately held and has not announced an initial public offering. No reliable public pre-IPO derivative currently prices its equity, so this page uses the latest funding-round valuation rather than a live market price.
