Yin Weida negotiated to invest about $2.5 billion in Thinking Machines Lab

On 4 September, the existing investor Andersen Holowitz Fund disclosed to other potential investors that the artificial and intelligent enterprise Thinking Machines Lab, headed by former Technical Officer Mira Murati of OpenAI, was negotiating a round of financing to raise $5 billion to $6 billion, with a pre-investment valuation of at least $40 billion. According to the investment agency that holds the board seat in Thinking Machines Lab, it is expected that Britain will contribute about half of the funds. This will continue with a series of layouts in Weida, thereby expanding its influence in open source artificial intelligence developers, including the $12.9 billion acquisition of open source model supplier Hugging Face. It is not clear whether the capital of Ingweida is the kind of large, but undisclosed, investment that this chip company said it would make to the thought machine lab in March. At that time, Yin Weida stated that a “long-term, Giwa-class strategic partnership” was planned with Thinking Machines Lab, which was perceived by the outside world as helping the start-up to acquire a very tight AI server chip。
