OpenAI launches GPT-Live voice models for natural, real-time AI conversations
ByPulseAugur Editorial·[16 sources]·
OpenAI has launched GPT-Live, a new generation of full-duplex voice models designed for more natural and real-time human-AI interaction. These models, including GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1 mini, can listen and speak simultaneously, allowing for interruptions and smoother conversations. They delegate complex reasoning and web searches to more advanced models like GPT-5.5 while maintaining conversational flow. OpenAI also released GPT-Realtime-2.1 and GPT-Realtime-2.1-mini for its API, focusing on low-latency voice and multimodal experiences with improved reasoning and tool use capabilities.
