ChatGPT’s upgraded voice mode is better at shutting up

OpenAI is overhauling ChatGPT's voice mode with a new model that it says is more like "talking to another person. " The new GPT-Live-1 is designed to interrupt you less and will also wait for you to continue speaking if you pause mid-conversation.

During a press briefing, OpenAI research lead Kundan Kumar called GPT-Live-1 the company's "smartest voice model" yet. It will automatically pass your queries to its best text models, like GPT-5.
