AI lab Mirendil reportedly locks in $100M+ Google Cloud compute deal

The agreement covers roughly half the capital raised in its seed round three months earlier, underscoring how fast frontier labs burn through cash.

• Mirendil has signed a multi-year deal with Google Cloud worth more than $100 million to secure compute for its self-improving AI research, according to a report citing TechCrunch.
• Mirendil is an AI lab co-founded by Behnam Neyshabur and Harsh Mehta, both formerly of Anthropic, aiming to build AI that can perform the work of an entire frontier AI lab.
• The deal grants Mirendil access to both Google's TPUs and Nvidia GPUs plus managed training clusters, with the company emphasizing matching specific workloads to the right chip type.
• The $100M+ compute commitment is roughly half the seed funding Mirendil raised at a $1 billion valuation in late June 2026.
• Mirendil's push into recursive self-improvement puts it alongside other emerging labs like Recursive Superintelligence and Ricursive Intelligence chasing similar goals.
• Deals like this show cloud giants locking in promising AI labs with huge infrastructure commitments while labs race to secure scarce compute before rivals corner supply, a dynamic increasingly shaping who can compete at the frontier.
