Description
Griffin is Tavus’s Human Interaction Model for face-to-face, real-time conversation. It sees, hears, and talks at the same time, responding to pauses, expressions, gestures, and what’s happening on camera. In a live one-minute video call, 48% of participants believed they were talking to a real person. Griffin-Lite is available as a research preview to select early testers, with full-duplex video-to-video interaction and 720p generation.

Could you build this?
No Griffin is a real-time multimodal generative foundation model that processes audio/video inputs simultaneously and generates synchronized conversational video with sub-second latency.
What it would actually take: Requires training proprietary multimodal neural architectures (audio-visual speech synthesis, conversational interruption handling) on massive datasets of synchronized human interactions. High-throughput, ultra-low latency GPU cluster inference pipelines (using custom WebRTC streaming engines and optimized CUDA kernels) are necessary alongside deep research in speech and computer vision.
