After surprise departure from OpenAI last autumn, Albanian-American Mira Murati opened her company.
Called the Machine Machines Lab, according to foreign media, the company aims at “making artificial intelligence systems more widely understood, personalised and generally more capable of”.
The company also promises at least one level of public transparency, pledging to publish technical research regularly.
In a press release, the company suggests that it is building products that help people work with artificial intelligence rather than fully autonomous systems.
“We are building a future where everyone has access to knowledge and means to make the IA work on their unique needs and purposes,” said in the press statement.
Murati has started working with a team of about 30 top researchers and engineers from competitors including OpenAI, Meta and Mistral.
Approximately two-thirds of the company consists of former OpenAI employee, including Barret Zoph, a leading researcher who left the ChatGPT manufacturer on the same day as the Mrat in late September.
Zoph will serve as head of startup technology.
OpenAI cofounder John Schulman is the lead scientist of the startup.
More OpenAI employees are expected to join the company, while the latter has been in talks to collect capital financing entrepreneurs from investors.
