Mirendil, an AI startup founded by former Anthropic researchers, is in talks to raise as much as $1 billion at a $5 billion post-investment valuation, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Kleiner Perkins is discussing leading the round. The negotiations are private and the financing has not been completed, so its size, participants and valuation could still change.
