Gibberlink allows AI agents to call each other in a robe-lining

The Hatton project over the weekend, which allows AI agents to speak on the phone in a robotic language that is incomprehensible to people, has become viral on social media over the past week.

The project, called gibberlinkwas created by two meta software engineers during the Hackathon contest in London, hosting Elevenlabs and Andreessen Horowitz.

Gibberlink allows AI agent to recognize when he talks on the phone with another AI agent, the project makers, Boris Starkov and Anton Pidkuiko said, told TechCrunch in an interview. After AI agent realizes that he is talking to another AI agent, Gibberlink prompts agents to go into a more efficient communication protocol called GGWAVE.

GGWAVE is an open source library in which each sound represents a small bit data. This allows computers to communicate faster and more efficiently than they can, using human speech. For the human ear, however, GGWAVE sounds like a series of “beeps” and “boops” – exactly what you would imagine that the native language of the computer sounds.

Although it seems unlikely today that two AI agents will find themselves on the phone with each other, it is not impossible to imagine these scenarios that arise soon. Companies increasingly replace the staff of the call center with AI agents from Eleven., Level AI., Retend AIand other start-up AI-based AI voice.

At the same time technology giants like Openai, Google and Amazon begin to present User AI agents capable of processing complex tasks on your behalfS These AI agents may soon be able to call a customer service center for you.

In this potential future, Gibberlink may increase the efficiency of communication between AI agents, provided that both parties have an activated protocol. While AI voice models are quite good at translating human speech into markers, which AI model can understand, the whole process is very calculated – and just unnecessary – if two AI agents talk to each other. Starkov and Pidkuiko estimate that AI agents communicating through GGWave can reduce the calculation costs by order or more.

Today, however, this is just a cool project. Starkov and Pidkuiko created a website That you can open on two devices to watch AI agents talk to each other in GGWAVE.

Like a good science fiction film, the Gibberlink demonstration has caused a wide curiosity-anxiety-for the future of AI agents. During the week after London’s Hakaton, a video demonstration of Gibberlink has accumulated over 15 million views on X and was Even repaired by the most tracking of a technology reviewer on YouTubeMarques Brownlee.

However, Starkov and Pidquiico emphasize that Giberlin’s basic technology is not new-it dates back to the internet model of the 80’s.

Some may recall the distinctive sounds of early computers that communicate with modems through household stations – a process known as a “handshake”. In essence, this handshake was data transfers using a robotic language that is basically similar to what is happening between AI agents via gibberlink.

Starkov and Pidkuiko also noted that the viral mania around Gibberlink has acquired its own life. Someone purchased the domain gibberlink.com and is Now I’m trying to sell it for $ 85,000. Others have created a Gibberlink MemcoinWhile several solo imposters sell webinars, which are alleged to teach “communications between agent-agent”.

Currently, Gibberlink’s creators say they are not commercialized by the project and explain that it is not related to their work in Meta. Instead, Starkov and Pidkuiko have With an open source GIBBERLINK of GITHUBAlthough they say they can work on some additional tools related to the project in their spare time and release it in the near future.
