Exploring Next — Ep 388 w/ Justy & Cody — Thinking Machines shows off preview of near-realtime AI voice and video conversation with new 'interaction models'
Thinking Machines previews 'interaction models'—AI that processes voice and video in real-time, simultaneously listening and responding instead of waiting for user input to finish. Cody is skeptical about whether this solves a real problem or is architectural theater; Justy argues the latency gains and enterprise safety use cases (manufacturing oversight, customer service) are genuinely useful. They debate whether 'full-duplex' is a fundamental shift or incremental polish on existing models.
