GibberLink: AI Agents Communicate in Robotic Language

A viral project from a London hackathon enables AI agents to communicate in a robotic language, enhancing efficiency and reducing computational costs.

At a London hackathon not too long ago, two Meta software engineers, Boris Starkov and Anton Pidkuiko, dropped something pretty wild: GibberLink. Imagine AI agents chatting away on the phone in a robotic language that sounds like absolute gibberish to us humans. (Yeah, it’s as weird as it sounds.) They’re using GGWave, this open-source sound library, to make AI-to-AI convos faster and way more efficient. Talked to TechCrunch about it, and they’re saying this could slash computation costs big time.

Here’s the kicker: GGWave turns data into these beeps and boops that, honestly, take me back to the dial-up internet days. You know, when your modem sounded like it was singing the song of its people at 3 AM. It’s oddly nostalgic but also kind of genius for AI communication. With everyone and their grandma jumping on the AI customer service bandwagon, this could be a game-changer.

Now, before you get too excited, Starkov and Pidkuiko are quick to point out GibberLink’s just a passion project—nothing to do with their day jobs at Meta. They’ve thrown it up on GitHub for anyone to tinker with, because why not? It’s blown up so much that there’s already domain sales and memecoins popping up around it. But these two? They’re just here for the tech, man.
