Tavus Says AI Model Griffin Passed as Human in 26 of 54 Video Calls

The finding matters less as a benchmark than as a signal about how quickly synthetic video is closing the gap with human perception. Tavus has an obvious interest in the result, and unverified self-reported numbers should be treated as a claim rather than a measurement, especially with the model gated from retail users. The open question is whether independent testing reproduces anything close to that rate, and whether the same capability that makes a one-minute call convincing also makes provenance and identity verification harder to sustain.
