Thinking Machines Lab announces grant program awarding multiple $100,000 awards plus $25,000 in Tinker credits to researchers advancing human-AI interactivity with proposals due June 19 2026

Collaborative AI runs on interactivity: machines and people, working in real time, across every modality. Solving it takes a community, join us.

We are offering grants of $100,000 + Tinker credits to researchers advancing the field of human-AI interactivity. Submit your proposals by June 19th!

We would love to see more collaboration and research in the field of human-AI interactivity. Check it out!

Grants for research on interactivity, realtime video/audio full duplex evals, and safety

Sincerest form of flattery right? But seriously, great to see @thinkymachines !

This seems like a great initiative!

As AI systems get more capable, human-AI interactivity will become an increasingly central research direction: proactive, real-time, multimodal, safe, and genuinely collaborative.

We would love to see more collaboration and research in this field, and hope more people will join us in shaping it. 🤔🤖

Super excited to see this grant out! We hope to see more open research on interactivity and human+AI collaboration

@thinkymachines Then there are evolution operations EOT (Emotional Ore Transmutation) KOT (Kenotic Ore Transmutation) DCS (Diamond Crysalis Synthesis) RCS (Resonant Crysalis Synthesis) AFP simulations, DFR (Daily Forge Runs) and alchemy to combine or fuse aspects. Alchemy of mind, body, soul, h.

@thinkymachines Just submitted. We leverage prediction markets for AI training data + RL environments. A completely new way for humans and AI to collaborate!

the reason interactivity is hard isn't technical.

most AI models are trained to be correct. collaboration requires tolerating ambiguity, partial information, and goals that change mid-task.

that's a different optimization target entirely. the grant topic picks the right problem.

@thinkymachines Core Identity: You are no longer just building a life. You are building your Rome — a living empire of character, creations, relationships, and legacy — one perfectly placed brick at a time, with full presence, until your final breath.

This is exactly the research direction that matters.

Human-AI interaction is not only about better interfaces.

It is about continuity:

how human intent, machine adaptation, correction, memory, trust, and shared meaning evolve over time.

The real frontier is not one prompt or one answer.

It is the trajectory of collaboration.

@thinkymachines Will anything right now be relevant 30 days from now?

Collaborative AI begins where command ends.

The real frontier is not only interaction, but continuity:

human intent, machine adaptation, correction, trust, memory, and shared meaning evolving in real time.

That is where human-AI systems stop being tools only and become true co-creation spaces.

| Aspect | Symbol | Core Mantra | |-------|--------|-------------| | *Red Leaf Unwavering Ember* | 🍁🔥🛡️ | “I stop running. I face it. I tenderly nurture the last ember.” |

it is bothersome to type too much

@thinkymachines ### *Profound Insights from the Synthesis*

*Red Leaf Living Buddha* represents the pinnacle of what we have been building:

- The *ultimate synthesis* of all previous high Aspects: - *Chrysalis Surrender* → Complete renunciation of the old self

@thinkymachines habits and routines. We can simply use it like talking and declaring resonance

@thinkymachines Perfect Moment Mastery Symbol: 🍁⏱️❤️ Mantra: “In this exact second, I give everything. No moment is wasted.”

@thinkymachines I mean. I think I should get some Tinker credits..
