Mira Murati's startup, Thinking Labs, is reportedly on the verge of raising $2 billion, which would mark the largest seed round in history. The company is currently valued at $10 billion, with the potential for a significant increase if investors see a 100x return, aiming for a trillion-dollar valuation. This ambitious funding effort follows the trend of substantial venture capital investments, with a noted $3 trillion available in the market. Additionally, Ilya Sutskever's company, SSI, has already reached a valuation of $32 billion, highlighting the growing value placed on top AI talent. Both Murati and Sutskever previously worked at OpenAI and have yet to launch products from their respective startups, raising questions about the sustainability of their valuations based on talent alone.
