Alongside my co-founders, proud to formally announce @mirendil. Our mission is to accelerate science and technology through democratizing frontier AI R&D. If you share our excitement for this mission, reach out to us!

Today, I’m excited to formally announce @mirendil 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

It's been a long time coming. I left xAI a little over a month ago now. It was a pleasure to work with incredible people turning a new lab into a force to be reckoned with. I am incredibly grateful and proud of the opportunity to lead the Grok web team from no product impacting hundreds of millions of users. Also grateful for helping kick start the Grok Build project which has turned into something truly amazing. I learned a ton from watching the product team grow from 6 to 30 people from scaling every service on fire to caring about the minute and millisecond details for users. Bullish on xAI and elon on taking Grok to the stars. Towards of the end of my time at xAI, I realized that model capabilities are the true bottleneck for building out better AI products. I helped out the code modeling team on our full stack and long horizon experts but couldnt help but think that maybe the real problem was the approach to modeling. I'll be joining Behnam, Harsh, Tara, and Shayan at @mirendil to work on the next generation of AI products. As model training and hosting costs decrease, and they will decrease a lot, we will see a renaissance in how humans interact with the world. Models that do real work means people can reinvest their time into ideas and creativity. Of course, we arent there yet, so that's what we're building at Mirendil. Accelerating research has revolutionary immediate use cases in enabling more GPU architectures with kernel perf to allowing anyone to improve models for their own needs. Theres a lot more underserved industries and even personal use cases that can be improved with more discovery. If youre interested in acceleration dm me or apply here! mirendil.com/careers.html

We're thrilled to lead Mirendil's $200M seed round. Frontier AI work has been locked inside a few big labs. @mirendil is building a system that can help anyone do AI work: they train frontier models that are expert at AI R&D and build the product around it. The result is a system that loops over research and engineering problems on its own, making progress without human intervention. It's like a coding agent built for AI research that controls its own GPUs. Mirendil is one of the few teams with the experience and the priors to make the end-to-end system work. @bneyshabur, @HarshMeh1a, @shayan_, and @tararezaeikh come out of Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI. Welcome to the a16z family, Mirendil. By @BornsteinMatt and @MaikaThoughts
