Thinking Machines Lab shares are not public exchange-traded shares. The AI lab founded in February 2025 by former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati raised a $2 billion seed round at a $12 billion valuation shortly after launch, released its first product, Tinker, in October 2025, struck a partnership with Nvidia that included an investment in early 2026, and on April 22, 2026 signed a multibillion-dollar Google Cloud agreement for Nvidia GB300 systems, according to TechCrunch. No registration statement has appeared on SEC EDGAR as of the latest site review. Segmara shows a dated indicative mark for Thinking Machines Lab; any private transaction is subject to eligibility, availability, transfer approval, documentation, pricing and final terms.

Thinking Machines Lab was founded by Murati with other senior OpenAI researchers, and a $12 billion valuation at the seed stage was among the largest ever recorded, according to TechCrunch.
The April 2026 Google Cloud deal, valued in the single-digit billions per TechCrunch's source, and the earlier Nvidia partnership show a lab with substantial compute commitments, which keeps it on pre-IPO watchlists despite limited public information.
The lab's funding comes from institutional and strategic investors; there is no company-run tender offer and no per-share price from these rounds in the public record.
Any secondary route depends on seller supply, company transfer approval, accredited-investor eligibility and platform minimums, and secretive labs tend to restrict transfers tightly.
Segmara lists Thinking Machines Lab with a dated indicative mark under an indicative structure for research only. Segmara does not sell, broker, or arrange share purchases.
The answer stays conditional: access is subject to eligibility, availability, transfer approval, documentation and final terms, and the indicative mark is not an executable quote.
Public round-by-round marks are incomplete for this company. Segmara shows the listing mark and keeps the seed-to-IPO analysis focused on verifiable funding, tender, or secondary signals.
