The public benefit corporation aims to develop advanced AI models that are accessible and useful to the public. Murati believes there is a significant gap between the rapid advancement of AI technology and public understanding. Thinking Machines Lab plans to address this by building AI models that facilitate collaboration between humans and AI, rather than mimicking existing tools like ChatGPT. The company has attracted a talented team, including former OpenAI VP of research Barret Zoph, multimodal research head Alexander Kirillov, and top researcher Luke Metz. The lab&#8217;s chief scientist will be John Schulman, a key figure in the development of ChatGPT. Thinking Machines Lab is based in San Francisco and is confident in raising the necessary funds to support its ambitious goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mira Murati, former chief technology officer of OpenAI, has announced the launch of her new company, Thinking Machines Lab.
