Today’s models experience reality in a single thread. Until the user finishes typing or speaking, the model waits with no perception of what the user is doing or how the user is doing it. Until the model finishes generating, its perception freezes, receiving no new information until it finishes or is interrupted. This creates a narrow channel for human-AI collaboration that limits how much of a person’s knowledge, intent, and judgement can reach the model, and how much of the model’s work can be understood. Picture trying to resolve a crucial disagreement over email rather than in person.
At Thinking Machines, we believe we can solve this bandwidth bottleneck by making AI interactive in real time across any modality. This enables AI interfaces to meet humans where they are, rather than forcing humans to contort themselves to AI interfaces.
