前OpenAI CTO旗下Thinking Machines收购个性化AI初创Workshop Labs

ME News, April 14 (UTC+8). According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Thinking Machines Lab, an AI laboratory founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has recruited two co-founders of personalized AI startup Workshop Labs—CEO Luke Drago and CTO Rudolf Laine—and acquired the company’s technology. The transaction amount was not disclosed.

Workshop Labs was established about a year ago. It traces its origins to a series of articles written by the two founders, titled “The Intelligence Curse,” which examines the economic consequences after human labor is replaced in the era of strong AI. The company’s core proposition is that AI should enhance individuals’ capabilities rather than replace them. Built around this direction, it has developed a privatized training and inference technology stack, achieving the fastest training speed among models of the same class with trillion-parameter scale. It has also developed an end-to-end product that allows non-technical users to customize models with their own data in just a few clicks.

Thinking Machines previously released a model customization tool called Tinker. Workshop Labs also participated in testing before the tool’s official release. This acquisition shows that Thinking Machines is stepping up its efforts in model personalization and expanding from a single tool into a more complete technology roadmap.

On X, Murati wrote: “From Tinker to research funding to frontier exploration, everything we do serves the same mission: empowering AI to give power to human civilization.” (Source: BlockBeats)
