OpenAI launches GPT-Live full-duplex voice for ChatGPT
OpenAI on July 8 launched GPT-Live, a new generation of voice models built on a full-duplex architecture that lets ChatGPT listen and speak at the same time rather than waiting for discrete turns. Two models - GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1 mini - are rolling out globally across iOS, Android and ChatGPT.com, with GPT-Live-1 becoming the default voice for paid Go, Plus and Pro users and the mini serving the free tier. For questions needing web search or deeper reasoning, GPT-Live delegates to OpenAI's latest frontier model behind the scenes and folds the result back into the conversation.
