Interaction Models: A Scalable Approach to Human-AI Collaboration

Thinking Machines, the AI company founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, announced Monday that it's working on something called "interaction models." The idea behind interaction models, according to Thinking Machines, is that they will let people "collaborate with AI the way we naturally collaborate with each other - they continuously take in audio, video, and text, and think, respond, and act in real time." As explained by Thinking Machines: Today's models experience reality in a single thre

Cerebras upsized its $4.8B IPO as Cowboy Space raised $275M for orbital data centers; Google confirmed the first criminal AI-found zero-day, and more.

Anthropic refused China model access; Isomorphic raised $2.1B; Google pushed Gemini deeper into Android; plus much more.

Google Magic Pointer, Perceptron Mk1, and Thinking Machines reveal the next AI interface shift: AI that understands context before you type.

Anthropic refused China access to Mythos; Cerebras and Cowboy Space pushed AI compute bigger; Recursive Superintelligence raised $650M; plus much more.

Thinking Machines Lab introduced interaction models, a new approach to real-time AI across audio, video, and text. Here’s why it matters.

Right now, every AI model you've ever used works the same way. You talk, it listens. It responds, you listen. Thinking Machines is trying to change that by building a model that processes your input and generates a response at the same time, so it's more like a phone call than a text chain.
