<p>Thinking Machines Lab has introduced a research preview of TML-Interaction-Small, a 276B parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 12B active parameters, built around a multi-stream, time-aligned micro-turn architecture that processes 200ms chunks of audio, video, and text simultaneously — eliminating the need for external voice-activity detection harnesses. Unlike standard turn-based models that freeze perception during generation, the system runs two components in parallel: a real-time intera
