OpenAI launched GPT-Live yesterday, an advanced voice model that mimics real dialogue, as it can listen and speak simultaneously while maintaining the flow of the conversation thanks to its full-duplex architecture. The API has not been issued yet.

During conversations, GPT‑Live can show it’s paying attention with phrases like “mhmm” or “yeah”, engage in quick back-and-forth, or just stay quiet when the user needs a moment to think.

Questions that require web search, deeper reasoning, or more complex work are delegated to OpenAI’s GPT‑5.5.

“Over time, we believe this research will also unlock the ability to use voice for increasingly complex, longer-running, and more agentic work,” said the company. “Our vision is to enable truly natural human–AI interaction: a world where collaborating with AI feels as fluid and responsive as working with another person, while reasoning and complex task execution happen seamlessly in the background.”

OpenAI rolled out globally two versions of GPT‑Live – GPT‑Live‑1 and GPT‑Live‑1 mini.
