Nvidia reportedly negotiating $2.5B investment into Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab

The poster notes that while Jensen Huang publicly claims OpenAI has hit AGI, Nvidia is quietly negotiating a $2.5B check into Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab — an open-weight lab built to challenge OpenAI and Anthropic.
- Not the first time: Nvidia already backed TML in March with a gigawatt of Vera Rubin chips.
- Context: weeks ago Huang said on an earnings call he regrets not investing in OpenAI and Anthropic sooner, calling it a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
- Takeaway: Nvidia isn't betting on who wins — it wants everyone at the table buying its chips, a pretty sane strategy.
