Interaction Models: Native Real-Time Multimodal AI Collaboration
By
Thinking Machines Lab
Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
The article introduces "interaction models," a new approach to human-AI collaboration where AI systems handle interaction natively—continuously processing audio, video, and text in real time—rather than relying on external scaffolding or turn-based interfaces. These models are trained from scratch with a multi-stream, micro-turn design to ensure real-time responsiveness, aiming to make AI collaboration feel as natural as human-to-human interaction.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledWe think interactivity should scale alongside intelligence; the way we work with AI should not be treated as an afterthought.
Interaction models let people collaborate with AI the way we naturally collaborate with each other—they continuously take in audio, video, and text, and think, respond, and act in real time.
To ensure real-time responsiveness, we adopt a multi-stream, micro-turn design.
