Nvidia recently entered into a multiyear partnership with Thinking Machines Lab to deploy at least 1-gigawatt of the chipmaker’s Vera Rubin compute platform beginning early 2027, while also making an investment in the AI startup.
The deal with Nvidia will support Thinking Machines Labs’ frontier model training and platforms to deliver customisable AI at scale to its customers.
A single gigawatt can power a mid-size city with nearly one million homes.
Thinking Machine Labs is led by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, who left the ChatGPT-maker two years ago to become CEO of the AI company in 2025.
The agreement also includes co‑designing advanced training and serving systems optimised for Nvidia architectures, with the goal of expanding access to both frontier and open‑source AI models across industry, academia and scientific communities.
Nvidia made a significant investment in Thinking Machines Lab to support the company’s long-term growth, in yet another example of the circular deals which have marked the AI industry.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called AI “the most powerful knowledge discovery instrument in human history”, while praising Thinking Machines for assembling a world‑class team.
Murati stated the partnership accelerates her company’s mission to build AI that is customisable, collaborative and shaped by human needs.
