Thinking Machines Just Announced More Human Like AI

Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has unveiled its first AI model, focusing on "interaction models" designed for real-time collaboration across voice, video, and text. Unlike current AI that processes input sequentially, TML's model operates in 200-millisecond chunks, allowing it to listen and respond simultaneously, mimicking natural human conversation. This "full duplex" approach aims to surpass competitors like OpenAI's GPT Realtime 2 and Google's Gemini Live in conversational quality, though it is currently a research preview with a limited release planned. AI

IMPACT Sets a new standard for real-time conversational AI, potentially shifting focus from agentic capabilities to natural human-AI interaction.

Locale-Conditioned Few-Shot Prompting Mitigates Demonstration Regurgitation in On-Device PII Substitution with Small Language Models

Researchers have developed an on-device pipeline for substituting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) with consistent, type-preserving fake values, aiming to maintain downstream text utility. The system uses a small language model (SLM) for generating surrogates, but initially encountered issues with demonstration regurgitation. A novel locale-conditioned rotating few-shot prompting technique was introduced to fix this, enabling successful PII substitution across multiple locales. However, the study found that while SLM surrogates produce more natural text, they lead to less varied training data, negatively impacting downstream Named Entity Recognition (NER) performance compared to simpler methods.
