a16z(@a16z):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
