Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab Introduces Interaction Models: A Native Multimodal Architecture for Real-Time Human-AI Collaboration
Thinking Machines Lab has introduced a research preview of TML-Interaction-Small, a 276B parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 12B active parameters, built around a multi-stream, time-aligned micro-turn architecture that processes 200ms chunks of audio, video, and text simultaneously — eliminating the need for external voice-activity detection harnesses. Unlike standard turn-based models that freeze perception during generation, the system runs two components in parallel: a real-time interaction model that maintains continuous full-duplex exchange with the user, and an asynchronous background model that handles sustained reasoning and tool use while sharing the full conversation context throughout.
