NVIDIA has announced a strategic investment in AI startup Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati. Under a multi-year agreement, NVIDIA will supply its upcoming Vera Rubin AI accelerator chips to support the training and operation of Thinking Machines' AI models. These chips, expected to be deployed early next year, will provide the startup with at least one gigawatt of computing power. While the specific terms of the investment remain undisclosed, both companies have described it as significant.
