Summary
OpenAI is upgrading ChatGPT's voice mode with a new model called GPT-Live-1, designed to make conversations feel more natural by interrupting less and waiting for users to continue speaking after pauses. The model can automatically route complex queries to OpenAI's best text models (like GPT-5.5) for reasoning or web searches, then transition back to voice to discuss findings. OpenAI research lead Kundan Kumar described it as the company's "smartest voice model" yet.
