Thinking Machines unveils 'full duplex' AI for real-time interruption
thinking machines lab introduced tml-interaction-small, a research model capable of 0.40 second response times by processing input and generating output simultaneously.
thinking machines lab, founded by former openai cto mira murati, announced 'interaction models' designed to process input and generate output concurrently, eliminating the turn-taking latency of current systems. the company claims its tml-interaction-small model responds in 0.40 seconds, significantly outperforming comparable models from openai and google by operating like a phone call rather than a text chain. this approach makes interactivity native to the model architecture rather than a bolted-on feature. the company plans a limited research preview in the coming months ahead of a wider release later this year.
