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).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
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.

It was a pleasure to work with the NetworkOcean team on this film 🎥! It’s very apparent this team will be among the pioneers of the world’s energy solutions.
Introducing NetworkOcean.
Our future is bottlenecked by the speed at which we can deploy power.
We’re building floating solar arrays powering data centers at sea. This will soon be the fastest way to deploy new compute, skipping years of land, grid connections, and traditional infrastructure delays.
Our 2030 target is 1 GW/week.

Introducing Phoenix-4, the most advanced real-time human rendering model ever built.
Its the first real-time model to render every pixel at runtime, generate and control emotional states, listen actively, and actually behave the way humans do in conversation.

The interface of the future is human.
We’ve raised a $40M Series B from CRV, Scale, Sequoia, and YC to teach machines the art of being human, so that using a computer feels like talking to a friend or a coworker.
And today, I’m excited for y’all to meet the PALs: a new human-computing interface.
PALs are emotionally intelligent, multimodal, and capable of understanding and perceiving. They can see, hear, reason, and even look like us.
We’re releasing our 5 favorite PALs to start. Each PAL has its own distinct personality- from AI assistants to best friends.
PALs:
- Meet us where we are. Face-to-face over video call, on the phone, or even by text.
- Are always thinking. They’re proactive, reach out first, remind you about what you forgot, or might just check in on you.
- Understand us, finally. PALs can see us, understand our tone, emotion, and intent, and communicate in ways that feel more human.
- Evolve with you. PALs have advanced memory, remember your preferences and needs, and adapt themselves over time.
- Are capable. PALs can handle complex tasks — from responding to your emails to moving your schedule around to creating docs and doing research for you.
Science fiction promised us a new human-computer interface, beyond the GUIs of yesterday, a human-like interface that would feel second-nature to use. That future never came, until now.
Charlie’s story brings this idea to life.
We’re excited for you to meet Charlie and his PALs for free at tavus.io
Enjoy the film 👇
Watched @NickKyrgios live yesterday at Wimbledon. People don’t give him enough credit. Stadium full and energy maxed. He’s a breath of fresh air and he fills stadiums with fans. Regardless of what people think about this man he is what tennis needs and he knows that! Good luck👊🏼
