Introducing GAT & GOT

01GAT — the Generative Action Transducer

A GAT takes speech, conversation, application state, memory, intent and the vocabulary of available actions, and generates action: sequences, parameters, state transitions, tool operations, confirmations — co-timed with what the voice says. Spoken, this class is Speech‑to‑Action (STA). Actras — Action-Centered Transducers for Reasoning and Agentic Systems — are the Labs GAT family, and Actras are to speech what VLA models are to vision: the vision-language-action class made the same move for embodiment, emitting actions as tokens in the same stream as perception.

02GOT — the Generative Orchestration Transducer

A GOT takes state, objective and resources, and generates coordination: model and tool selection, decomposition, parallel versus sequential execution, escalation, verification paths, termination. Spoken, this class is Speech‑to‑Orchestration (STO). Octras — Orchestration-Centered Transducers for Routing and Agentic Systems — are the Labs GOT family. What a GOT generates runs as an AI Orch: the executable coordination object that binds models, agents, tools, workflows, memory, policies, data and compute into one live operation — Orch Models are intelligence; AI Orchs are execution structures.

03Why Transducer, not Transformer

A transducer is named for the conversion it performs, not the topology that performs it. A GAT converts speech and world state into action; a GOT converts objective and resources into policy. That keeps both categories architecture-agnostic on purpose — the families may span decoder-only stacks, state-space models, diffusion decision models, RL policies and neuro-symbolic hybrids — while the transformer lineage, from Attention Is All You Need through GPT, is cited as ancestry rather than claimed as a constraint. In that precise sense, Transducers are post-transformer as a framework, not as a topology: the class is named for the conversion it performs, and the transformer is ancestry, not definition.

What GPT named for generative language, GAT names for generative action, and GOT for generated coordination.

Spoken, the two classes’ work arrives as voice commands — Speech‑to‑Action Voice Commands for what a GAT generates, Speech‑to‑Orchestration Voice Commands for what a GOT generates — and each class is programmed against its own interface: the IPI on the action side, the OPI on the orchestration side.

04Scored, and where to meet them

Both categories are scored in public on the Interactive Intelligence Bench (IIB‑1) — the Actra Score over the action-side tracks, the Octra Score over floor discipline, every number a recorded run. The full argument lives in Larger Than Language, and the first-generation Actra surface and Octra layer are live in LabsAI Studio.
