Her new AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab, recently announced it has raised $2 billion from an elite group of investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Nvidia, Accel, ServiceNow, Cisco, AMD, and Jane Street, Andrew Nusca reported for Fortune Tech.

The funding round values the five-month-old company—still without a product or revenue—at a stunning $12 billion.

Most of Thinking Machines Lab’s employees are former OpenAI staff.

For comparison, that’s half the valuation of Safe Superintelligence (SSI), the startup led by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever; one-fifth the valuation of Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI researchers Dario and Daniela Amodei; and a fraction of OpenAI’s $300 billion market-leading valuation.

In a social media post, Murati said the company plans to unveil its first product “in the next couple of months.” She noted it will include “a significant open-source component” and be useful to developers building custom AI models.
