    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).

    Your PAL can already present a deck, slide by slide, and take questions as it goes. It can walk the whole deck, or pull up the exact slide a question calls for, whenever someone wants to hear it. Turn on Presentation Mode in PAL Maker at

    RT @Scobleizer: The virtual companion company. About two weeks ago @tavus showed a virtual being that you could talk with on your phone. It blew me away. Have been predicting they are coming for a long time. This morning I was blessed to be able to pick @hassaanraza’s mind and get insights about where the virtual companion market is about to go. But I wasn’t expecting one of the coolest startup offices I have ever seen. And we talk about both the pros and cons of this technology. The company calls them “Pals” and they have deep impacts on the future of autonomous cars, robots, and how humans work with brain computer interfaces. Already retailers, museums, game designers, and others are building them into new things. Try it at

    Face Studio started as our in-house tool for making faces. It's the fastest, easiest and most fun way to make one, and now it's in PAL Maker for everyone. Start from a photo or one sentence, change anything down to the collar, then try it as claymation or anime.

    I asked Claude to build an office for the @tavus PALs... I was not expecting it to build THAT kind of office

    deskPALs for all.

    I’ve been experimenting with new hardware form factors for my assistant, Dom. My favorite so far: the deskPAL! Dom now lives on my desk, can speak up to get my attention, and is connected to my calendar, email etc. I find myself using him consistently throughout the day for brainstorming and making sure I don't miss anything.

    A doctor’s education doesn’t end with medical school, because the research never stops. Med Learning Group built Ruby, a face-to-face AI, to help doctors keep up. Skin cancer doctors learn from her at any hour, on any case. Prepared doctors mean better care for patients.

    You built a PAL, so now put it where people can talk with it. Deployments gives you three ways: a link anyone can open, a widget for your site, or an embed in your product. Pick one and hit Create, with no backend or API keys needed. Deploy your PAL at

    No menus to tap through. You just walk up and talk. Kiosk mode puts a Tavus PAL on a walk-up kiosk. Here it’s checking in a guest at our front desk. We’re opening a pilot to a limited number of companies. Want in? Let us know here:

    “I wanted to try to actually program a tutor for her myself... It’s actually a better experience for her.” Damien built Will, an AI tutor who meets his daughter where she is, adapting every lesson to how she learns. Personalized learning, for anyone who needs it.

    Thank you to Damien and his family for letting us share this. Building something for learners, families or educators? We’d love to hear about it.

    RT @hassaanraza: At @tavus we spend a lot of time thinking about personality and behavior in AI, and how to bring the richness and nuance of human communication to models. Excited to share our new paper on Contrastive Covariance Steering (CCS), a method for precisely controlling individual behaviors in LLMs without unintentionally changing other characteristics. Training-free, closed-form LLM steering that removes confounds (topic, style) from the steering vector. Beats every steering baseline in 12/12 model–domain settings, +48–70% on AxBench.

    Glad you noticed the difference, Linus. Thanks for giving Griffin an early test! It’s important that Griffin meets us where we are. You should be able to take your time, and you shouldn’t need to spell everything out.

    Griffin, first ever at passing video turing test I took the early preview for a spin, I'm super impressed. Natural flow, very promising technological advancements from prev gen. 48% of folks who tried it thought they talked to a real human. Full duplex-video is here.
