Thinking Machines Lab unveils full‑duplex AI voice model with sub‑second replies

Thinking Machines Lab unveils full‑duplex AI voice model with sub‑second replies Digital Trends
Thinking Machines Lab, the startup founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, announced a full‑duplex interaction model that can listen and speak simultaneously. The TML‑Interaction‑Small model generates responses in about 0.40 seconds, a speed the company says approaches natural human conversation. The technology is currently in a research preview phase, with limited access slated for the coming months and a wider release planned later this year. If the model delivers on its promise, AI voice assistants could become noticeably more fluid and less prone to awkward pauses. Read more

Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Unveils Real‑Time "Interaction Models" for AI Collaboration

Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Unveils Real‑Time "Interaction Models" for AI Collaboration The Verge
Thinking Machines, the artificial‑intelligence startup founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, announced Monday that it is developing "interaction models"—systems that process audio, video and text simultaneously and respond in real time. The company says current AI models operate in a single‑threaded fashion, creating a bottleneck that limits natural human‑AI collaboration. Murati’s team showcased the new tech with demos ranging from live animal‑mention detection to real‑time speech translation and posture alerts. A limited research preview is slated for the coming months, with a broader release expected later this year. Read more
