> The company says one researcher used its agents to train Mirendil-Base from scratch in 3.5 months with less than $10 million in compute.

Mirendil announced a $1 billion Series A at noon ET (1700 UTC) Nov. 12, with Kleiner Perkins and Clearlake Capital leading the round. The company said the funding will support its effort to make frontier AI research and development more accessible.

Battery Ventures, Doerr Capital, Gil & Co, Google, M13, Pear VC and S32 also participated, alongside other new and existing investors.

Mirendil is developing Lor, a platform in private beta that the company says can coordinate hundreds of agents to write code and run experiments for days. It cited one researcher’s project as an example of the platform’s use: Mirendil says the researcher pretrained its Mirendil-Base coding model from scratch in 3.5 months, using less than $10 million in compute.

The company said it then post-trained Mirendil-Base into Fern, which supports up to 10 million tokens of context. “when agents do the hands-on work, the size of your team stops limiting what you can build,” Mirendil said.

In June 2026, Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins led Mirendil’s $200 million seed round.
