Thinking Machines Lab announced interaction models on Monday 1—essentially AI that can interrupt you 1. The startup was founded last year by Mira Murati, former CTO of OpenAI 1.
Today's AI models follow a predictable pattern: you speak, it listens, it responds, you listen 1. Thinking Machines is breaking that cycle by building a model that processes your input and generates a response simultaneously 1.
The result feels more like a phone call than a text exchange 1. In technical terms, this type of interaction is called full duplex 1.
