Mirendil Secures $100M+ Google Cloud Deal for Self-Improving AI Compute
Key points
- Mirendil signed a multi-year Google Cloud deal worth over $100 million.
- The partnership provides access to Google TPUs and Nvidia GPUs.
- Compute capacity will support Mirendil's self-improving AI research.
- Mirendil aims to accelerate AI development and manage complex training workflows.
Mirendil Partners with Google Cloud
AI lab Mirendil has entered into a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud to secure compute capacity for its research into self-improving AI. The deal is valued at over $100 million, according to Mirendil’s co-founder and CEO, Behnam Neyshabur.
Access to Advanced Compute Resources
Under the agreement, Mirendil will utilize Google Cloud’s AI Hypercomputer, which includes a combination of Google’s TPU AI accelerators and full-stack NVIDIA AI infrastructure. These resources will support both pre-training and post-training applications for Mirendil's AI models.
The ability to choose a mix of both TPU and NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform through Google Cloud was a factor in Mirendil's decision, providing critical compute resources for their complex, end-to-end training workflows.
Focus on Self-Improving AI
Mirendil is developing AI systems capable of iterative self-improvement, a concept also known as recursive self-improvement. This technology is intended to accelerate and democratize AI research and development, including powering reinforcement learning on a massive scale.
The startup's goal is for its AI to eventually perform the work of an entire frontier AI lab. Mirendil's co-founders previously worked at Anthropic, a major lab also engaged in self-improving AI research.
Industry Trends Reflected
This partnership highlights two current trends in the AI industry: cloud providers are actively pursuing startups with significant infrastructure commitments, and AI companies are seeking to secure as much compute access as possible to support their scaling needs. Mirendil's seed funding, raised at a $1 billion valuation, was roughly double the value of this compute deal.
