How much does it cost to start an AI lab?

💰 Ilya Sutskever’s Safe Superintelligence raised $1B with around 10 employees and no product.

💸 Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines raised $2B in seed funding, also before launching a product.

🧠 Some of the largest funding rounds in AI are going to tiny research teams with no revenue or commercial product.

Why do they need billions before they’ve even built anything?
