Physical interfaces for language models, beyond the chatbot and the screen.

Large Language Objects are a series of objects and physical interfaces for language models that extend their capabilities beyond the confines of chatbots and graphical user interfaces.

By combining frontier models, multimodal agents and custom-trained classifiers, they reveal new applications for artificial intelligence — new ways of experiencing music, of creating and telling stories, of playing and communicating.
