Thinking Machines shows off preview of near-realtime AI voice and video conversation with new 'interaction models'
Is AI leaving the era of "turn-based" chat? Right now, all of us who use AI models regularly for work or in our personal lives know that the basic interaction mode across text, imagery, audio, and video remains the same: the human user provides an input, waits anywhere between milliseconds to minutes (or in some cases, for particularly tough queries, hours and days), and the AI model provides an output. But if AI is to really take on the load of jobs requiring natural interaction, it will need to do more than provide this kind of "turn-based" interactivity — it will ultimately need to respond more fluidly and naturally to human inputs, even responding while also processing the next human input, be it text or another format. That at least seems to be the contention of Thinking Machines, the well-funded AI startup founded last year by former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati and former OpenAI researcher and co-founder John Schulman, among others. Today, the firm announced a r

Fostering breakthrough AI innovation through customer-back engineering
Despite years of digitization, organizations capture less than one-third of the value expected from digital investments, according to McKinsey research. That’s because most big companies begin with technological capabilities and bolt applications onto them, rather than starting with customer needs and working backward to technology solutions. Not prioritizing the customer can create fragmented solutions; disjointed…
Thinking Machines wants to build an AI that actually listens while it talks
Right now, every AI model you've ever used works the same way. You talk, it listens. It responds, you listen. Thinking Machines is trying to change that by building a model that processes your input and generates a response at the same time, so it's more like a phone call than a text chain.

Here’s what Mira Murati’s AI company is up to
Thinking Machines, the AI company founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, announced Monday that it's working on something called "interaction models." The idea behind interaction models, according to Thinking Machines, is that they will let people "collaborate with AI the way we naturally collaborate with each other - they continuously take in audio, video, and text, and think, respond, and act in real time." As explained by Thinking Machines: Today's models experience reality in a single thread. Until the user finishes typing or speaking, the model waits with no perception of what the user is doing or how the user is doing it. Until th … Read the full story at The Verge.

Can you help reconcile my first/second-hand LLM Experience with HN's Experience?
I've made an account as a long-time lurker because I am hoping y'all could help reconcile my experience in my company/team with what seems to be the wise HN consensus around LLMs. My Background (Software Engineer II): I've been writing software professionally for >10 years and grew up coding games/websites for fun; did my undergraduate in C.S./C.E., and did some time in ML research and such. Right now I'm on the back-end/DevOps team - my teammates are all Senior Staff/Principal Engineer (one is almost double my age lol!) and we have a pretty standard tech stack (NodeJS, AWS, C++, etc) with 95% brownfield development at a large but not FAANG-like company. I've had my current job for >6 years and out of ~20 in our department I'm the third newest! I'd say I'm a pretty stereotypical engineer AKA "a total nerd" with private side projects mostly around implementing computational geometry or procedural simulation papers in Rust, sometimes working on a lil website tool we use daily. But I most

AI tool poisoning exposes a major flaw in enterprise agent security
AI agents choose tools from shared registries by matching natural-language descriptions. But no human is verifying whether those descriptions are true. I discovered this gap when I filed Issue #141 in the CoSAI secure-ai-tooling repository. I assumed it would be treated as a single risk entry. The repository maintainer saw it differently and split my submission into two separate issues: One covering selection-time threats (tool impersonation, metadata manipulation); the other covering execution-time threats (behavioral drift, runtime contract violation). That confirmed tool registry poisoning is not one vulnerability. It represents multiple vulnerabilities at every stage of the tool’s life cycle. There’s an immediate tendency to apply the defenses we already have. Over the past 10 years, we’ve built software supply chain controls, including code signing, software bill of materials (SBOMs), supply-chain levels for software Artifacts (SLSA) provenance, and Sigstore. Applying these defe
AI agents are running hospital records and factory inspections. Enterprise IAM was never built for them
A doctor in a hospital exam room watches as a medical transcription agent updates electronic health records, prompts prescription options, and surfaces patient history in real time. A computer vision agent on a manufacturing line is running quality control at speeds no human inspector can match. Both generate non-human identities that most enterprises cannot inventory, scope, or revoke at machine speed. That is the structural problem keeping agentic AI stuck in pilots. Not model capability. Not compute. Identity governance. Cisco President Jeetu Patel told VentureBeat at RSAC 2026 that 85% of enterprises are running agent pilots while only 5% have reached production. That 80-point gap is a trust problem. The first questions any CISO will ask: which agents have production access to sensitive systems, and who is accountable when one acts outside its scope? IANS Research found that most businesses still lack role-based access control mature enough for today's human identities, and agents
OpenAI just released its answer to Claude Mythos
OpenAI is launching Daybreak, an AI initiative focused on detecting and patching vulnerabilities before attackers find them. Daybreak uses the Codex Security AI agent that launched in March to create a threat model based on an organization's code and focus on possible attack paths, validate likely vulnerabilities, and then automate the detection of the higher risk ones. Its launch comes just over a month after rival Anthropic announced Claude Mythos, a security-focused AI model it claimed was too dangerous to publicly release and only shared privately as a part of its own initiative, dubbed Project Glasswing. Still, that didn't stop at leas … Read the full story at The Verge.
Google stopped a zero-day hack that it says was developed with AI
For the first time, Google says it has spotted and stopped a zero-day exploit developed with AI. According to a report from Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), "prominent cyber crime threat actors" were planning to use the vulnerability for a "mass exploitation event" that would have allowed them to bypass two-factor authentication on an unnamed "open-source, web-based system administration tool." Google's researchers found hints in the Python script used for the exploit that indicated help from AI, like a "hallucinated CVSS score" and "structured, textbook" formatting consistent with LLM training data. The exploit takes advantage of … Read the full story at The Verge.
