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

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 turn-based AI, these models respond without waiting for users to finish speaking, aiming to create more natural, human-like interactions. Currently in research preview, this technology targets applications in enterprise, healthcare, and industrial settings, with wider access planned later this year.
