"Soumith Chintala, a former AI leader at Meta and one of the most influential figures in modern AI infrastructure, has joined former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati's startup, Thinking Machines Lab. '[T]hinking machines...the people are incredible,' Chintala posted to his X account on Tuesday. He also updated his X bio and LinkedIn profile to indicate that he is now working at the startup, marking his first move since leaving Meta earlier this month."

He is a significant addition for Thinking Machines Lab, the fast-growing AI company Murati unveiled in February after her departure from OpenAI. The startup, which positions itself as an AI research and product lab working on 'human-AI collaboration,' has spent the past few months recruiting top-tier talent from Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, and across academia."
