Mirendil, a startup founded by former Anthropic staffers, is reportedly raising capital at a $5 billion valuation to build self-improving AI.
- The company has hired over 20 employees and plans to launch its first frontier model by early next year.
- Commentators note the AI debate too often assumes an OpenAI/Anthropic duopoly; Mirendil and SSI are reminders the next leap may come from a lab policymakers have barely heard of.
