Thinking Machines Reaffirms Human-AI Collaboration Direction
jonlachman · x · 2026-07-11
The co-founder of Thinking Machines reviewed two initial assumptions from a year and a half ago:
- People should be able to customize models more freely and conduct research on them.
- Even as AI becomes more autonomous, there is still a need for tools to enable humans and AI to work together.
He noted that "agent" progress has accelerated recently, prompting the team to re-examine these hypotheses and write down their current beliefs after discussion.
