OpenAI debuts GPT-Live voice models
OpenAI has launched the GPT-Live and GPT-Live mini models, designed specifically for low-latency, full-duplex voice interactions. The new models utilize WebRTC to enable more natural, real-time conversations for developers using the API. By delegating complex reasoning tasks to newer GPT iterations, these agents aim to provide faster response times for voice-based applications.
