Mira Murati, the former chief technology officer at OpenAI, is on the hunt for over $100 million in venture capital for her new AI startup focused on creating proprietary AI products. Murati, who played a key role in major OpenAI projects like ChatGPT and DALL-E, left the company in September amid governance changes. There’s speculation that former colleague Barret Zoph might join her venture. This shift reflects a trend of ex-OpenAI executives launching startups, raising questions about competition in the evolving AI landscape.
