Look Murati, former director of OpenAi Technology, begins his own company

Mira Murati, the former OpenAI technology director who unexpectedly left the company in September, has helped find a new artificial intelligence company called Thinking Machines Lab, which adds to the wave of young companies that have formed in the race for Lead the ai.

Thinking Machines Lab aims to “make ai systems more widely understood, customizable and generally capable,” according to a blog post of the new company. He said he would freely share his technologies with researchers and external companies, a practice known as “open source.”

Thinking Machines Lab refused to say if he has raised money.

Mrs. Murati, 36, was among Openai's senior executives and researchers who left the company after the surprise expulsion of its executive director, Sam Altman, in November 2023 and her reinstatement five days later. Some of them had faced Mr. Altman about the direction of OpenAi and his philosophy about ai, a powerful technology that has implications for employment and society.

Other former OpenAI executives, including the co -founder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, have created their own ai companies. Its new companies, along with giant companies such as Google, Meta and Microsoft, are part of the global career to build increasingly powerful ai technologies.

(The New York Times has sued Openai and his partner, Microsoft, claiming the infringement of copyright of the news content related to ai systems).

Operai captured the imagination of the world at the end of 2022 with the launch of Chatgpt, an online chatbot that could answer questions, write terms of terms, generate computer code and imitate human conversation. Altman became a face of the ai ​​movement.

But in November 2023, four members of the Openai Board expelled him, saying that they could not trust him with the company's plan to create a machine that can do anything that the human brain can do. Mrs. Murati, who joined Openai in 2018, was appointed to direct the company after the removal of Mr. Altman, but rejected the role two days later. She stayed in Operai after Mr. Altman returned.

The Times reported last year that Mrs. Murati had written a private memorandum to Mr. Altman in the months prior to her dismissal, asking questions about her management and sharing the memorandum with the Openai Board. A lawyer from Mrs. Murati denied claims at that time.

When Openai left, Mrs. Murati said she was moving away to “create the time and space to make my own exploration.” She did not provide details.
