Thinking Machines raised $2B without settling on what to build. After CTO Barret Zoph's firing, the $50B funding round stalled and three founders returned to OpenAI. John Schulman remains the last original research leader. The pattern suggests deeper issues than the public ethics narrative when investors back companies lacking clear direction.

With only a fine-tuning API shipped and no foundation model trained, the structural misalignment may be catching up to the $12B valuation. #AIstartups #TechFunding #AI
