Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Secures 1GW Nvidia Vera Rubin Compute Partnership

Mira Murati, founder and CEO of Thinking Machines and former CTO of OpenAI, announced a commitment to deploy at least 1GW of Nvidia Vera Rubin systems, stating: 'Grateful to Jensen and the Nvidia team for their support. Together, we're working to deploy at least 1GW of Vera Rubin systems, bringing adaptable collaborative AI to everyone.' The deal is widely regarded as one of the largest infrastructure commitments by a new AI startup and is generating significant buzz across tech media as a signal that Thinking Machines is positioning as a serious frontier-compute player rather than an LLM wrapper. The announcement is being read alongside Fei-Fei Li's spatial intelligence manifesto as a coordinated indicator of a post-LLM-text platform shift.
