- GPT-Live (July 8, 2026), OpenAI's full-duplex voice models for ChatGPT Voice: they listen while speaking and decide many times a second whether to talk, keep listening, pause, interrupt or call a tool, handing web searches and harder reasoning to a frontier model (GPT-5.5 at launch). GPT-Live-1 is the default for Go, Plus and Pro users and GPT-Live-1 mini for Free users, with nine remastered voices and live translation; GPT-Live-1 joined the API on September 10, 2026 ($0.05 a minute).
