Nvidia to Invest in Thinking Machines Lab and Supply AI Chips

Nvidia Corp. is making a new investment in Thinking Machines Lab, an artificial intelligence company founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, and will supply chips to help train and run the startup’s AI models.

Thinking Machines will use Nvidia’s forthcoming Vera Rubin AI accelerators as part of a multiyear agreement, the companies said in a statement Tuesday. The chips, which will be deployed by Thinking Machines early next year, will provide computing power amounting to at least 1 gigawatt — roughly the amount of energy needed to power 750,000 homes.
