Per The Information, Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab is in talks to raise at least $1B at a pre-money valuation of at least $40B:
- Accel is discussing leading the round; Nvidia, already an investor and infrastructure partner, may participate
- That's roughly 4x the $10B pre-money valuation of its 2025 seed round
- Still below the $50B+ level explored late last year
