Interaction Model

Interaction Model is the Thinking Machines Lab model discussed in 171: 【AI季报 26Q2】从 coding 到 RSI，强者愈强的未来？. The source says it supports listening while speaking, seeing actions, handling interruptions, and pairing real-time interaction with an asynchronous reasoning model.

The model’s importance is its interaction thesis. The episode argues that Voice Interaction should not be treated as a minor multimodal add-on: low-latency, interruptible, full-duplex voice could become a basic interface layer for AI assistants, agents, tutors, and collaborative work.

• Thinking Machines Lab — company context.
• Voice Interaction — broader interaction category.
• OpenAI — comparison point for real-time voice models.
• Agent Harness — real-time interaction still needs context, permissions, and task surfaces to become work.
