The startup plans to create AI-powered products based on its own models, said one of the sources, who preferred to remain anonymous. According to him, negotiations are in an early phase, but the company could raise more than $100 million, given Murati’s reputation and the capital needed to train its own models (final figures have not yet been determined).
Murati’s own representatives decline to comment, as do Zof’s representatives. There is also no reliable information about whether Mira herself will be the general director of the new project. Previously, news about the possible start-up of Zof and Murati’s new project came out separately, and only now it is assumed that we are talking about the same company.
For more than six years at OpenAI, Murati led efforts that brought innovative projects such as ChatGPT and DALL-E to market. She was a key figure in OpenAI’s multibillion-dollar partnership with Microsoft, which is now at risk of unraveling.
Murati’s meteoric rise at OpenAI, where she even briefly served as interim CEO last year, has made her one of the AI industry’s most prominent leaders. Before OpenAI, he worked at Leap Motion and Tesla.
