Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab is nearing a $5 billion funding round, as reported by Business Insider on November 6, 2026, citing unnamed sources.
What happened
According to Business Insider, the round values the company at $40 billion before the new money (pre-money), with Accel leading.
The company declined to comment, and the round had not closed at the time of reporting.
Separate reports say Nvidia discussed investing about $2.5 billion. How that would fit into the round is unclear.
This is an unconfirmed report, not a company announcement, and the terms could change before any deal closes.
Why it matters for creators
Funding for new frontier labs keeps adding competition, which pushes model prices down across the stack.
A well-funded new lab is one more company competing on model quality and price. Until the round is confirmed, though, the figures are best read as reported rather than final.
