Gate News message, April 23 — Thinking Machines Lab, an AI startup founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, has signed a cloud infrastructure deal with Google Cloud valued at a single-digit billion US dollars. The agreement marks the company’s first partnership with a major cloud provider following an earlier collaboration with Nvidia.
Murati launched Thinking Machines in February 2025 after departing OpenAI. The company subsequently raised a US$2 billion seed round at a US$12 billion valuation. In October, the startup released Tinker, a tool designed for building custom AI models.
The deal will provide Thinking Machines with access to Google’s computing infrastructure to support its reinforcement learning operations.
