The model supports backchanneling, interruptions, and natural pauses, moving beyond the turn-based limitations of previous voice modes. It delegates complex tasks to GPT-5.5 in the background and offers three reasoning levels. Nine remastered voices are included. Human evaluations showed strong preference for GPT-Live over advanced voice mode.","whyItMatters":"The shift to full-duplex architecture addresses the unnatural pauses and interruptions that plagued previous voice modes, moving closer to human-like conversation.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eOpenAI\u0026#39;s GPT-Live replaces the turn-based structure of ChatGPT\u0026#39;s advanced voice mode with a full-duplex system that processes input and output simultaneously. The model decides many times per second whether to speak, listen, pause, interrupt, or call tools, enabling interjections like \u0026#34;uh-huh\u0026#34; and quiet waiting while the user thinks. For heavier tasks like web search or deep reasoning, GPT-Live delegates to GPT-5.5 in the background, preserving conversation flow. Users can select from three reasoning levels-Instant, Medium, and High-with corresponding GPT-5.5 configurations. The nine available voices have been remastered to better focus on the user\u0026#39;s voice amid background noise. OpenAI\u0026#39;s internal evaluations found GPT-Live strongly preferred over the previous advanced voice mode across measures of turn-taking, naturalness, and overall conversational comfort.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"OpenAI announced GPT-Live, a full-duplex voice model for ChatGPT that enables backchanneling and interruptions.
