Thinking Machines, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, announced it is developing "interaction models" designed to enable natural human-AI collaboration through simultaneous audio, video, and text processing.

The startup revealed Monday that its interaction models will allow AI systems to continuously intake multiple data streams and respond in real time, mimicking how humans naturally collaborate with one another. Unlike current AI models that process information sequentially, Thinking Machines' approach aims to create more fluid, simultaneous interaction capabilities. The company framed this as a fundamental shift in how people will work alongside AI systems. Murati departed from OpenAI in May 2024, where she served as Chief Technology Officer. She founded Thinking Machines to pursue what the company describes as more natural human-AI interaction paradigms. The announcement provides early insight into the startup's technical direction but offers limited details on timeline, funding, or deployment plans. The company has not disclosed when interaction models might become available or what specific use cases it will target first.
