Thinking Machines Lab Reveals TML-Interaction-Small: Real-Time Multimodal Interaction Model
Thinking Machines Lab (founded by Mira Murati) has announced TML-Interaction-Small, a 276B-parameter mixture-of-experts multimodal model that processes audio, video, and text concurrently using 200ms 'micro-turns' rather than waiting for conversational turns to complete. The architecture uses encoder-free early fusion, pairing a fast foreground interaction model with an asynchronous background reasoning model that shares context. On interactivity benchmarks (FD-bench V1/V1.5), it outperforms GPT-Realtime-2 and Gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview, though it trails GPT-Realtime-2 on intelligence benchmarks. A closed research preview is expected in coming months with wider release later in 2026.
Thinking Machines' TML-Interaction-Small 276B-A12B Advances SOTA Realtime Voice and VAD
Thinking Machines has released TML-Interaction-Small, a 276B-A12B mixture-of-experts model targeting native interaction capabilities including realtime voice. The model is reported to advance state-of-the-art in realtime voice interaction and supersedes standard voice activity detection (VAD) approaches. The item is a brief AINews digest entry from Latent Space with minimal technical detail beyond the headline claims.
Data Points: Thinking Machines Interaction Model, ERNIE 5.1, Co-Mathematician, RL Conductor, and More
This edition of The Batch covers five notable AI developments: Thinking Machines' research preview of an 'interaction model' with a 200ms micro-turn multimodal architecture; Baidu's ERNIE 5.1, a compressed derivative of ERNIE 5.0 using only 6% of typical pre-training compute; Google DeepMind's Co-Mathematician collaborative workbench reaching 48% on FrontierMath Tier 4; a 7B RL Conductor model that orchestrates multi-agent workflows via reinforcement learning; and Google's Magic Pointer cursor system powered by Gemini. Secondary items include GitHub Copilot pricing restructuring ahead of usage-based billing.
