a16z 和 Kleiner Perkins 联手投了两亿美元，团队全是大厂顶尖人才，就是要搞AI自己加快研究速度的路子，跟传统实验室玩法不同。
新创公司 Mirendil AI 今日宣布完成 2 亿美元种子轮融资，由 a16z 和 Kleiner Perkins 领投，NVIDIA 跟投。公司由 Behnam Neyshabur 等四位联合创始人领导，核心团队共 20 名研究者与工程师，来自 Anthropic、xAI、Google DeepMind 和 OpenAI。Mirendil 定位于构建自加速 AI 研发系统，目标是通过 AI 推动科学进步，并主张让更多实验室自主控制 AI 基础设施。
It’s time to accelerate science and technology!
It’s time to accelerate science and technology! Behnam Neyshabur @bneyshabur Today, I’m excited to formally announce @MirendilAI with my amazing co-founders Harsh Mehta, Shayan Salehian, and Tara Rezaei! We’re fortunate to work with @a16z and @kleinerperkins , who led our seed round of $200M, followed by a major investment from NVIDIA, among others. Mirendil exists to accelerate science and technology, and through them, to help solve humanity's most pressing problems. Self-accelerating AI R&D is the most direct path to delivering on AI's broader promise, which is why we believe the most important application of AI is AI itself. Get this loop right, and it compounds. It fundamentally changes the rate of progress itself across all domains. We believe this capability should be democratized. It should be used to power all scientific efforts trying to innovate at the frontier. There are far more important problems—and broader ones—than any single lab can take on, so more groups should be able to pursue them. This pulls concentration of power away from a few labs: businesses and science labs can own their AI and infrastructure, keep their margins, and control their own destiny instead of ceding it all to a single AI lab. We’re a small team with a singular focus. Our founding team consists of 20 researchers and engineers from frontier institutions including Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI, united by a passion for science and a drive to build the technologies that move it faster. If you want to build the system that builds systems, join us! @HarshMeh1a , @shayan_ , @tararezaeikh 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 14 🔄 9 ❤️ 88 👀 20068 📊 17 ⚡
