MIT researchers test AI models sharing internal states instead of text

According to a post on X by @WesRoth, MIT researchers have described a "telepathy" method that lets AI models share their internal states directly instead of writing text to each other. In one test, Google's Gemma 3 4B passed what it saw in images to IBM's text-only Granite 3.3 8B. Granite then averaged 41.6% on five visual question benchmarks, compared with 21.1% when it read a text description written by Gemma.

If these results hold, the approach could change how builders design systems where one AI model hands work to another. The figures come from the post's summary of the MIT work, so the original research should be checked for full methods and scope. Watch for the full paper and whether other models and tasks show similar gains.
