Thinking Machines wants to build an AI that actually listens while it talks
TechCrunch
Startup Thinking Machines is developing an AI model capable of full-duplex communication, allowing for simultaneous speaking and listening like a human conversation.Summary
Thinking Machines, a startup founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has introduced 'interaction models' designed to enable real-time, full-duplex AI communication. Unlike current AI that requires a turn-taking structure, the company's new TML-Interaction-Small model aims to process input and generate responses simultaneously, mimicking natural human conversation. With a claimed response latency of 0.40 seconds, the technology seeks to make interaction more fluid. The company plans to release a limited research preview in the coming months to test whether this native interactivity holds up in real-world applications.
