OpenAI details how it built a realtime system for responsive voice AI in six months. GPT-Live enables continuous voice interaction rather than the turn-taking pattern of earlier voice assistants.
The system uses a turnless speech model paired with a low-latency architecture.
Together these produce conversations that feel faster and more natural than request-response interactions.
