Kwin is my personal conversational AI hero. His feedback and opinion carry a ton of weight. I'm glad to see him finding utility and intrigue in Griffin.
Now imagine a PAL that can talk with its hands, stand up, and walk across a room (or even sing).
What a model that would be...
Introducing Phoenix-4.5, the fastest and most expressive real-time human rendering model on the market.
More natural than ever before: richer facial animation, more expressive emotion and micro-movements, and movement that now extends through the upper body.
It is the closest AI has ever come to passing the Turing test face to face.
Sparrow-2 is #1 on TurnBench.
It ranked #1 in end-of-turn detection and #1 in interruption handling. Every model gets one submission, scored blind on a held-out test set, with no retries.
Credit to @sesame for an open, third-party benchmark. This is how the field should measure itself.
We have processed our first submission to TurnBench.
Congrats to the @tavus team for Sparrow-2, which is a new #1 on the TurnBench leaderboard.
Noisy place for a conversation? No problem.
With Sparrow-2, Tavus PALs can hold natural conversations in the real world, from front desks and cafés to airports and retail floors.
See it in action at our SF office. Kiosks, receptionists, and more are next.
Want one?
Human conversation is one of the hardest problems in AI.
Today, we're introducing Sparrow-2, our state-of-the-art, real-time conversational understanding model.
It gives Tavus PALs something most voice AI still lacks: understanding what’s happening in a conversation and deciding what to do next- when to listen, wait, speak, or keep speaking.
Introducing Tavus PAL Maker.
The first no-code way to build a PAL, a new kind of application that sees, hears, acts, remembers, and emotionally understands you like a friend or coworker, whether it's working with one person or a thousand.
Anyone can now describe the PAL they imagine and watch it become real. A tutor that remembers you. A nurse that checks in after surgery. Someone who makes sure your grandmother is never lonely.
All through a simple conversation.
Aerbits is working with Oakland, CA to make Oakland cleaner and more beautiful.

Someone dumped the most gigantic pile of garbage on a street in San Francisco last weekend.
Using my aerial detection platform Aerbits.ai I estimated this garbage pile covers 625 square feet of ground. It’s also several feet tall, over six feet tall at the center.
And they didn’t stop there. There are four other smaller, but still very large piles around it.
It’s catastrophic. Unfathomable. Ludicrous.
I'm going to build myself a chrome extension that let's me create a RAG for each topic I care about or am working in. It will allow me to, with a single click, add a page, selection, or PDF to my Vector DB.
I can select a co-pilot for each topic, and have in browser completions
n my mom's life story, she grapples with challenging aspects of her past, including experiences of violence and adversity during her childhood as a child laborer in Tehran.
4. Create a book system, to contain the previously written pages of the book, to use as both context and as the running version of the story. (Using the RAG approach)
Today I’m exhibiting and GenerateSF. This is an opportunity to show what we’ve been working in at aerbits.ai
