Continuous interaction
GPT-Live continuously processes incoming audio while it generates audio. OpenAI says it can decide many times per second whether to speak, listen, pause, interrupt, or invoke a tool.
OpenAI voice model / GPT-Live-1 Launched July 8, 2026
Quick answer
GPT-Live-1 listens while it speaks.
OpenAI built GPT-Live-1 as a continuous, full-duplex voice model for ChatGPT. It manages the live conversation and can delegate search or deeper reasoning without forcing the conversation to stop.
Architecture map
Conversation and reasoning are separate jobs
Reasoning delegation
When a request needs search, deeper reasoning, or more complex work, GPT-Live can hand that work to a frontier model while keeping the voice conversation moving.
One conversational surface
The launch experience combines active listening, interruption handling, visual answers, search, memory, images, and file uploads inside ChatGPT Voice.
Availability ledger
A ChatGPT launch is not an API or Flowith launch
Keep product surfaces separate. The official launch supports claims about ChatGPT Voice; it does not establish API-key access, pricing, entitlements, or a Flowith model mapping.
What launched?
OpenAI began rolling out GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1 mini to ChatGPT users globally on July 8, 2026.
Who gets which model?
OpenAI said GPT-Live-1 would become the default ChatGPT Voice model for Go, Plus, and Pro users, while Free users would receive GPT-Live-1 mini.
Is it a general API model?
No. The launch article said API access was planned, and current official ChatGPT documentation says its GPT-Live desktop voice surface is not available through an API key.
Is it available in Flowith?
This source review found no evidence that GPT-Live-1 is a selectable Flowith model. Check the live workspace rather than inferring access from the ChatGPT rollout.

GPT-Live-1 questions, answered
GPT-Live-1 is an OpenAI voice model introduced on July 8, 2026 to power a more continuous ChatGPT Voice experience. It uses a full-duplex architecture that can listen and speak at the same time.
A turn-based system waits for one side to finish before the other responds. GPT-Live continuously processes input while generating output, which lets it listen through pauses, handle interruptions, and respond with less rigid turn-taking.
Not necessarily. OpenAI describes GPT-Live as the continuous interaction layer. It can delegate search, deeper reasoning, or more complex work to a frontier model in the background and bring the result back into the conversation.
OpenAI began a global ChatGPT rollout across iOS, Android, and ChatGPT.com. The company said GPT-Live-1 would become the default Voice model for Go, Plus, and Pro users, with GPT-Live-1 mini for Free users.
Do not assume general API availability. OpenAI's launch article said API access was planned, and current official ChatGPT documentation says the GPT-Live desktop voice surface is not available through an API key.
At launch, OpenAI said GPT-Live did not support voice with video or screen sharing in ChatGPT. Because this limitation can change, check the live product and official documentation before choosing a workflow.
