OpenAI has launched GPT-Live voice AI with real-time speaking and listening, powered by GPT-5.5, as GPT-5.6 gets approval for public release.

OpenAI has launched GPT-Live, a full-duplex ChatGPT voice that listens and speaks at once, with live translation. It rolls out to all users, free ones too.

OpenAI says its new voice mode can speak and listen at the same time, a key ability for live translation.

The IPO-bound AI startup said it will roll out two versions of GPT-Live - GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1 mini - to users globally on Wednesday.
