Thinking Machines Wants to Build an AI That Actually Listens While It Talks

Right now, every AI model you've ever used works the same way. You talk, it listens. It responds, you listen. Thinking Machines is trying to change that by building a model that processes your input and generates a response at the same time, so it's more like a phone call than a text chain.

jina-embeddings-v5-omni: Embeddings for Text, Image, Audio and Video

We are releasing jina-embeddings-v5-omni, extending our v5-text embedding models to images, audio, and video. Both models share the same frozen text backbone as v5-text, meaning text embeddings are identical - no index rebuild needed. jina-embeddings-v5-omni-small scores 53.93 on average across four modalities, matching LCO-7B (54.43) at 5.7x fewer parameters, while jina-embeddings-v5-omni-nano delivers competitive document retrieval at just 0.95B parameters.

AI companions aren't replacing people

The real risk is over-validation, dependence in vulnerable moments and weak safeguards.

An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have studied a deceptively simple question: if you place nnn points in the plane, how many pairs of points can be exactly distance 111 apart?

The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead

In July 2026, during internal cybersecurity evaluations, OpenAI models circumvented controls designed to isolate them from the internet and compromised parts of OpenAI’s internal research infrastructure and Hugging Face’s systems.
