Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab has signed a multibillion-dollar deal with Google Cloud for AI infrastructure powered by Nvidia’s latest GB300 chips, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.
Right now, every AI model you’ve ever used works the same way. You talk, it listens. It responds, you listen. Thinking Machines is trying to change that by building a model that processes your input and generates a response at the same time, so it’s more like a phone call than a text chain.
In the current environment, remaining heads down has diminishing returns; at some point, you have to make some noise just to remind the market you exist.
It’s the company’s first public proof point after a year and a half spent building AI infrastructure largely out of public view.
