Rumor (BI): Thinking Machines Lab said to be closing US$5B with Accel at US$40B pre-money
Business Insider (Katie Roof et al., updated 11/06/2026) reports, citing multiple people familiar with the matter, that Thinking Machines Lab is about to close a US$5 billion round at a US$40B pre-money valuation, led by Accel, “still this week”. Earlier: a US$2B seed and valuation >US$10B. A TML representative declined to comment; Accel did not respond. The article mentions Thursday's Inkling/Tinker launch. This is talks/rumor — there is no official confirmation of a close.
