Thinking Machines, an AI company founded by ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, is developing 'interaction models' to enhance real-time collaboration between humans and AI. These models aim to process multiple modalities like audio, video, and text simultaneously, allowing for more natural and responsive interactions. The company plans to release a limited research preview in the coming months, with a wider rollout expected later this year. This development could redefine how AI systems interact with users, making them more intuitive and effective.

This release quietly cements llama.cpp as the universal inference runtime by finally supporting NVIDIA's latest CUDA 13 stack alongside AMD's ROCm 10.0. The inclusion of native builds for Linux arm64 with Snapdragon chips, covering CPU, Adreno GPU, and Hexagon NPU, signals a serious push into mobile edge deployment. While Apple Silicon KleidiAI is disabled in this specific build, the broader hardware coverage means developers no longer need to compile from source for most modern accelerators. It’s less about new features and more about removing friction for anyone running local models on bleeding-edge or diverse hardware.
