Tavus unveils Griffin, the "first Human Interaction Model", which it says passed the "video Turing test", with 48% of users thinking it was human in live chats (@tavus)
Tavus says Griffin fooled nearly half of one-minute live video-call testers into thinking it was a person.
The company calls Griffin a “Human Interaction Model” built for full-duplex video conversation: listening, watching, reacting, and speaking at the same time. Tavus says the system is not being publicly released yet because a model that can be mistaken for a real person needs safety work first. The Techmeme note also captured sharp pushback over scam, manipulation, and fake-relationship risks, alongside Tavus’s stated use cases such as tutoring, elder care, and assistants. Techmeme's note
