Thinking Machines Lab Unveils AI Interaction Models for Real-Time Communication

Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has introduced 'interaction models,' a new AI approach enabling real-time, continuous conversation by processing audio and visual inputs simultaneously. Unlike traditional AI that waits for user prompts before responding, these models aim to reduce latency and foster natural collaboration, especially in time-sensitive fields like healthcare and industry. Currently in research preview, the system plans limited release later this year to enhance human-AI interaction dynamics.
