Mira Murati, former CTO of OpenAI, has launched a new AI startup called Thinking Machines Lab. This venture aims to develop more accessible, customizable, and capable AI systems. The company intends to bridge the gap between current AI capabilities and user needs by building multimodal systems that collaborate with people. Thinking Machines Lab will also focus on AI safety by sharing best practices and supporting external research. The team includes notable figures from OpenAI, including co-founder John Schulman and ex-chief research officer Barret Zoph. Murati's departure from OpenAI follows a trend of former executives starting their own AI ventures, suggesting a competitive landscape.
