Thinking Machines Wants to Build an AI That Actually Listens While It Talks
Right now, every AI model you've ever used works the same way. You talk, it listens. It responds, you listen. Thinking Machines is trying to change that by building a model that processes your input and generates a response at the same time, so it's more like a phone call than a text chain.
TL;DR
- Thinking Machines Lab, founded by Mira Murati, has announced "interaction models."
- This AI aims to process input and generate responses simultaneously, unlike current AI models.
- The technology uses a "full duplex" approach, intended to mimic natural conversation.
- The model, TML-Interaction-Small, reportedly responds in 0.40 seconds.
- This is significantly faster than comparable models from OpenAI and Google.
- The product is currently a research preview and not yet available to the public.
- A limited research preview is expected in the coming months, with a wider release later in the year.
