🎙️ Mira Murati Just Launched an AI That Listens and Talks at the Same Time

Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, released a research preview of its Interaction Model, an AI that processes audio, video, and text in parallel rather than waiting for you to finish speaking.

The Decode:

Every Voice AI Has a Latency Problem - Current voice AI listens, waits, processes, then responds, each step blocking the next. That adds up to 500ms plus of noticeable delay that breaks natural conversation flow entirely.

TML Processes in 200ms Chunks - The model listens, reasons, and speaks simultaneously in 200-millisecond windows. Average turn-taking latency hit 0.40 seconds on TML's benchmark, comparable to natural human conversation speed.

The Architecture Behind It - TML-Interaction-Small uses 276 billion total parameters but only 12 billion active per inference. A separate Background Agent handles deeper reasoning in parallel while the Interaction Model keeps the conversation flowing.

Where It Falls Short - With only 12 billion active parameters, reasoning quality is good but not exceptional. GPT-4 and Claude still beat it on pure capability and benchmarks are on TML's own internal dataset.

Research preview is live now for selected researchers with no API yet. API access for partners is planned for Q2 2026, open beta Q3 2026, and production release by Q4 2026. TML is also funding $5 million plus in AI safety grants.

Together with Pounce

Your performance agency. Rebuilt as software.

Pounce runs the performance marketing function end-to-end. Creative analysis. Brief generation. Competitor intel. Performance optimization. All delivered by AI agents that work the way a strong performance team works, not the way a dashboard works.

The intelligence inside Pounce already powers enterprise platforms like Supercell, Wildlife Studios, DeNA, Playtika, and Scopely.

On the April 2026 Mobile Gaming Video Ads Understanding Benchmark, Pounce scored 98.5%. The best frontier model scored 76.9%.

Generic AI gets it wrong 1 in 4 times. Pounce gets it wrong 1 in 50. That gap is what makes it trustworthy enough to run without you watching it.

You're paying agency markup for work that's already being done faster, cheaper, and more accurately by software.

🤖 Two AI Infrastructure Platforms Launched This Week, and Both Are Worth Watching

One lets you explore AI-generated worlds in real time from your browser. The other lets anyone build and deploy custom frontier models. Different products, same underlying bet, infrastructure is where the next AI race is won.

The Decod:

Reactor Just Made AI Worlds Explorable in Real Time

Reactor launched its world generation platform this week, letting anyone explore AI-generated environments that render live directly from a browser, no downloads, no setup. Watch the video here. 

The lab is positioning itself as an infrastructure layer, betting that real-time delivery will become the category's main bottleneck as world models scale. The launch video hit 7.5 million views.

Prime Intellect Just Let Anyone Build Frontier Models

Prime Intellect's Lab came out of beta this week, giving anyone the ability to build, evaluate, and deploy custom frontier models and self-improving agents trained on their own data.

The platform bundles everything needed to run a model and benchmark its performance in one place, removing the infrastructure overhead that previously made custom model development inaccessible outside well-funded labs. Watch it in action 

Both launches point to the same shift: the hardest part of AI is no longer the model itself but the infrastructure around it. Reactor is betting on delivery. Prime Intellect is betting on training. Both are making previously gated capabilities accessible to anyone.
