Early-access tester Jason Kneen shares hands-on impressions of Griffin, a new human interaction model from Tavus, billed as the first AI to pass a face-to-face Turing test and ranked top of an independent NVIDIA benchmark.
It's rumored to be "too powerful to release." His call wasn't a polished performance — which is exactly why it felt like a genuine face-to-face conversation. These claims come from the vendor and an early tester; independent verification is still pending.
