Thinking Machines Lab is a startup by OpenAI co-founder Mira Muratti. It develops so-called "interaction models," which the company describes as a fundamentally different type of AI interface. Instead of the step-by-step prompt-response dynamics that define most modern AI products, it processes continuous streams of audio, text, and video at 200-millisecond intervals. The idea is that they can capture the nuances of human communication - interruptions, mid-thought corrections, even pauses for reflection - in near real-time. For now, the startup maintains "a high level of security to prevent unauthorized use of its models."
