🤯 🤯 🤯 this is the most impressive human interaction model I’ve seen. I have to admit that I would be in that 48%. Griffin is living in the future
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.

La France est fière d’avoir accueilli l’Esports World Cup à Paris cet été !
Cette réussite est le fruit de l’ambition que nous partageons avec l’Arabie saoudite pour faire grandir l’esport, rapprocher nos talents et nos pays.
Félicitations à All Gamers pour sa victoire, à la Team Falcons et une fierté particulière pour nos Français : Gwen dont la victoire sur Trackmania a été décisive, et la Team Vitality sur le podium à domicile ! GG WP Vitality :-)
Et bravo à tous les joueurs venus du monde entier, aux équipes et au public qui ont fait vibrer Paris.
Thank you @InsightGawd for everything you did and achieved at Toronto KOI/Ultra. One of the best players, teammates and leaders the org has ever had!
Jamie, you've been a leader for this organization since the day you stepped in. You've broken records, pulled off massive clutches, lifted multiple trophies and represented our team to the fullest. Thank you for everything @InsightGawd 💜

this should be a five alarm fire for policymakers in canada
517 american companies started by canadians. $414 billion raised. almost 9 in 10 of them went to school in canada
incredibly, 216 of these founders went to waterloo…. and half of these companies were started in the last 2 years!
517 US companies with a Canadian founder. $414B raised. 88% educated here.
The talent was never the problem. The belief was.
