[The First Model Just Released, Thinking Machines' 4th Co-Founder Resigns] According to monitoring by Beating, Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has lost another co-founder. Weng Li announced her resignation, citing frequent illness over the past seven months, with sustained pressure and workload exceeding her physical limits. During the company's sprint to release its first open-weight model, Inkling, she took a month-long sick leave. She had considered reducing her responsibilities but could not accept only dedicating partial effort. Moving forward, she hopes to find a research role with clearer responsibilities and a more stable pace, while continuing her work in AI research. This marks the 4th co-founder to leave Thinking Machines since its inception. Andrew Tulloch previously joined Meta, while Barret Zoph and Luke Metz returned to OpenAI. About two weeks ago, the company released its first model, Inkling. [Original Link]
