How we built a realtime system for responsive voice AI in six months
OpenAI built GPT-Live, a turnless voice AI system enabling continuous real-time conversation in six months
OpenAI shipped GPT-Live, a real-time voice interaction system built on a turnless speech model that eliminates the traditional back-and-forth latency of conversational AI. The system was designed for low-latency, continuous speech interaction, representing a significant engineering milestone delivered in six months. This matters because natural voice interfaces are a critical frontier for AI adoption and OpenAI is signaling serious infrastructure investment in this modality.
