🔥 What happened
Tavus unveiled Griffin, the first Human Interaction Model (HIM). In a live study, 48% of participants thought they were talking to a real human – previous systems maxed out at 2%.
💡 Why it matters
Griffin is a full-duplex video-to-video model that listens, speaks, and generates gestures and emotions in real time. Jumping from 2% to 48% shows how close AI is to human-like interaction – with huge implications for remote work, therapy, and entertainment.
⚡ Our take
Tavus just cracked the video Turing test. Anyone still thinking AI is just text has missed the memo.
