Thinking Machines Lab develops AI model for simultaneous conversation

May 12, 2026
AI Summary

Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has introduced interaction models aimed at enabling AI to engage in conversations more naturally. The model, TML-Interaction-Small, is designed to process input and generate responses simultaneously, mimicking human dialogue, but is currently in a research preview phase with public release planned later this year.

  • Thinking Machines Lab has announced a new AI model called TML-Interaction-Small, which aims to allow simultaneous conversation, similar to a phone call.
  • This model operates on a 'full duplex' system, responding in approximately 0.40 seconds, which is comparable to human conversational speed.
  • The company plans to release a limited research preview in the coming months, with a broader public release expected later this year.
  • The effectiveness of the model in real-world applications remains to be seen, as it is currently not available for public use.
