Mirendil Inks $100M+ Google Cloud Deal to Scale Self-Improving AI

AI lab Mirendil has signed a multi-year, $100 million-plus partnership with Google Cloud to source compute capacity for its self-improving AI research, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.
Key Points:
- Compute Scale: The deal is worth upwards of $100 million, roughly half of the seed funding Mirendil raised at a $1 billion valuation in late June.
- Infrastructure: The startup gains access to Google’s TPUs and Nvidia GPUs, as well as managed training clusters.
- Technical Goal: Mirendil is developing recursive self-improvement systems, hoping the AI will eventually take on the work of an entire frontier AI lab.
The deal mirrors two industry trends: cloud giants are courting startups with huge infrastructure commitments, and AI companies are snatching up compute deals to secure capacity as they scale.
