The transparency part matters a lot here People should always know when they are interacting with AI
Yesterday we previewed Griffin, a Human Interaction Model capable of seeing, hearing, sounding, and looking like a human does. There have been a lot of questions, so I wanted to take a moment to share our thoughts. By way of introduction: Tavus is a research lab focused on enabling machines to meet us where we are, and to understand the nuances of how we communicate beyond words. Griffin, our latest model, isn’t publicly available yet. Yesterday’s announcement was a limited research preview to demonstrate what the model is capable of. With AI progressing so quickly, we prefer to share breakthroughs openly and in real-time as we work on a safe public release. Face-to-face is how we evolutionarily communicate, it carries the most meaning and intent, and we want computers to be able to help with work that benefits from that emotional understanding, expression, and immersion. Some examples of the kinds of use cases we care deeply about: - A tutor that can build understanding of how a student learns, see exactly when there is confusion or disengagement, and adapt the lesson to fit them. - A health expert that can answer any questions about your upcoming appointment or prescription, at the pace you want, at any time you need, even on a weekend. - A language coach that you can practice speaking with, that can correct your movement and pronunciation, and help build confidence to have real conversations - Or the perfect assistant for everyone, that understands intent, knows how you work and remembers what matters. We’re working with partners on safeguards and systems for disclosure, as well as inviting discussions with officials around wider regulation and safe use. People will always know they’re interacting with AI, while providing an interface that removes the need to ‘speak computer’. We believe in a future where computers understand us well enough to make technology more accessible, more useful, and make us more capable as humans. That is the world we want to build, and we understand the responsibility to do so safely.

i don't edit videos anymore. i just tell one what to do 😭 built it. it's called Keymo → usekeymo.com you drop a video a podcast, a long upload, a youtube link . finds the good parts. tighten this. make the captions bigger. add calm music under it. more zooms. it watches everything itself and does it. face tracking, vertical reframe, captions, sound, music all on its own, you never touch a timeline. $12/month, or ₹799 if you're in india. 1080p, no watermark. Days of building. 19. no team,one mac doing every render.
the biggest thing i've ever built goes live tonight 👀 built it alone, which mostly meant arguing with myself at 3am about caption timing. my only co-founder is a mac in my bedroom that's been running for weeks straight 😂 i've put every hour i had into getting this ready and i'm finally excited to let you try it. building it was the fun part. now we find out if anyone actually cares.

You got to try Griffin, it feels way more natural than I expected. It can see what u are doing, react to it and even interrupt you naturally mid conversation. That part genuinely caught me off guard. Kudos to @tavus @hassaanraza
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Community note
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard. cellcog.ai/blog/tavus-gri… research.nvidia.com/labs/amri/proj… tech-ish.com/2026/10/02/tav…

In my college, people barely code or explore Java. The majority choose Python or C++. Why is everyone scared of Java?

How to communicate better with mentors in open source > always do some research before pinging them > do not tag them unnecessarily > if maintainers are busy and not responded, follow up after a week > don't DM them just to get ur PR reviewed > respect their time, they have a real job > use the org's preferred communication channel (slack, discord, etc) > don't use AI to write, talk like a normal person > take feedback normally and chill, it's about the code not u
