OpenAI ships GPT-Live-1.1 and GPT-Live-1.1 Quip as the new voice models in ChatGPT, Codex and dots; API coming soon

On Oct 15 OpenAI rolled out GPT-Live-1.1 (successor to GPT-Live-1) and GPT-Live-1.1 Quip (successor to GPT-Live-1 mini), full-duplex voice models that become the default voice for Plus-and-up users in ChatGPT Voice, Codex and dots. New voices cover French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Mexican Spanish, accents are more natural and the constant 'checking...' filler is reduced. Rolling out to all users; API coming soon. The system card reports statistically significant regressions in four synthetic safety categories.

OpenAI ships GPT-Live-1.1 and GPT-Live-1.1 Quip as the new voice models in ChatGPT, Codex and dots; API coming soon

Key Takeaways

  • Two tiers: GPT-Live-1.1 replaces GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1.1 Quip replaces GPT-Live-1 mini; 1.1 is default for Plus+ including Codex and dots, Quip for everyone else
  • New Live voices in 6 languages (French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mexican Spanish) plus Bubbie in English; fewer repetitive 'checking...' fillers while searching
  • Full-duplex: listens and speaks continuously, handling pauses, interruptions and pace changes; the system card describes GPT-Live as a two-model system that delegates hard work to thinking models
  • System card: parity on production voice evals; statistically significant regressions on sexual, mental health, emotional reliance and gore synthetic evals vs GPT-Live-1
  • Rolling out to all users today; API 'coming soon' with no published price, model ID, latency or WER figures yet

OpenAI: GPT-Live-1 live in the API—full-duplex voice agents that listen while speaking

OpenAI Developers said GPT-Live-1 is available in the API: bring ChatGPT’s natural back-and-forth into your app with voice agents that listen while they speak, using the models and harness you choose. OpenAI’s Tibo also noted builders can use the same full-duplex voice stack shipped to ~1B ChatGPT users, with solid tool calling.

Key Takeaways

  • GPT-Live-1 is live in the OpenAI API for full-duplex voice agents.
  • Agents can listen while speaking and pick model + harness.
  • Same voice stack as ChatGPT; strong fit for tool-calling voice apps.
