[OpenAI Opens Real-Time Voice API for ChatGPT: $0.05 Per Minute] Beating AI Newsflash: OpenAI has launched the GPT-Live-1 API, the real-time voice model currently used by ChatGPT. It can listen and speak simultaneously, directly understand speech, handle casual conversations, and adapt to interruptions, pauses, and background noise. When faced with complex reasoning or tool usage, GPT-Live-1 can delegate tasks to GPT-6 Astra, Luna, or third-party models, then resume the conversation with the user after obtaining the results. Developers can choose which backend model to integrate. Compared to the traditional process of 'speech-to-text → large model → text-to-speech,' GPT-Live-1 reduces intermediate model transitions, making real-time conversations more seamless. GPT-Live-1 is priced at $0.05 per minute, with additional charges for backend models. [Original Link]
