OpenAI has introduced GPT Live, a new voice model powering ChatGPT Voice with more natural conversations. The model can listen and respond simultaneously, handle interruptions and improve response timing. It is rolling out globally on iOS, Android and web, with separate versions for free and paid users.

OpenAI has introduced GPT Live, a new generation of voice models that now power ChatGPT Voice. The company describes GPT Live as its smartest and most natural sounding voice model yet, built to make talking to an AI feel closer to talking to a real person.

What is ChatGPT Voice?

ChatGPT Voice is the feature that lets you speak to ChatGPT out loud instead of typing, and hear it reply back in a spoken voice. Think of it like a phone call with an AI assistant. Until now, this voice feature worked in a fairly robotic, turn based way. You spoke, waited, and then the AI replied. GPT Live changes how this works under the hood, and the result is a conversation that flows far more naturally.
