Thinking Machines wants to build an AI that actually listens while it talks

# AI That Talks and Listens at the Same Time Today's AI chatbots work like texting—you send a message, wait for a response, then send another. A startup called Thinking Machines is building AI that works more like a real phone conversation, where it can process what you're saying and respond simultaneously instead of waiting for you to finish. This could make AI interactions feel more natural and responsive, similar to talking with another person rather than trading messages back and forth.
