Ex-Anthropic Staffers’ AI Startup in Talks to Raise at $5 Billion Value

Mirendil, an artificial intelligence startup founded by former Anthropic researchers, is currently negotiating a funding round that would value the company at $5 billion. Kleiner Perkins is reportedly in discussions to lead the investment. This valuation reflects the ongoing trend of high capital inflows into AI ventures led by personnel from established industry labs, even before those startups have brought widely released products to market.
