Mira Murati
Former CTO of OpenAI who testified that Sam Altman was not trustworthy.
“Mira Murati, her new model. Thinking Machines. They currently have the best American open source model. You know how it was trained? It was bootstrapped. It was distilled off a Chinese model, Kimi K2.5.”
Source→“Thinking Machines, led by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, dropped its first model (an open-weights one), last week.”
“Mira, because she just launched a very interesting platform that's based on open source... The value prop there is she's explicitly saying that, look, we're not frontier intelligence. We're just under that. But we're a platform for fine tuning these open models, which are much, much cheaper.”

Source→“Thinking Machines Lab's launch of Inkling — an open-weight, 975B-parameter mixture-of-experts model — represents a deliberate bet that enterprise-adaptable AI will outperform one-size-fits-all offerings from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.”
“Thinking Machines raised a record $2 billion seed round at a $12 billion valuation in 2025, before it had released a model or product.”
Source→“Thinking Machines is making a different bet than many AI labs: that enterprises ultimately care less about the smartest general-purpose model than one they can make their own.”
Source→“The company's models are designed to process continuous streams of audio, text, and video in 200-millisecond intervals.”
Source→“His claims of honesty were undercut by testimony from former colleagues Ilya Sutskever and Mira Murati.”
Source→“Five different people who'd testified in the case said he wasn't a trustworthy person (Helen Toner, Tasha McCauley, Ilya Sutskever, Mira Murati, and Musk).”
