About

GPT-Realtime-2.1 is OpenAI’s reasoning model with tool use for low-latency voice agents and complex speech-to-speech workflows. It updates GPT-Realtime-2 with improved alphanumeric recognition, silence and noise handling, and interruption behavior, helping applications understand spoken code, manage imperfect audio, and respond more naturally when users pause or talk over the agent. Developers can configure reasoning effort to balance deeper thinking against latency and output usage, while strong instruction following helps the model stay aligned with a defined role, tone, and workflow. It accepts and produces both audio and text, can take images as input, and supports function calling so an agent can retrieve information or perform actions during a conversation. The model has a 128,000-token context window, supports up to 32,000 output tokens, and includes reasoning-token support for extended interactions.

About

Headroom is a menu bar app for macOS, Windows and Linux that cuts Claude Code and ChatGPT Codex token costs by ~50%, which can translate to up to 2x as much usage on the plan you already pay for. It compresses the bulky tool output, logs and boilerplate your coding agent sends. Compression runs locally, before the request leaves your machine, so prompts and code stay private. Source code passes through untouched, and the originals stay available to the agent through a retrieval tool. Typical coding sessions save 25-50% overall. Across 183 Claude Code users over one week, Headroom cut input tokens by 34% (measured) and output tokens by 33% (estimated). Also included: a dashboard and activity feed with tokens and API-equivalent dollars saved, project learnings that turn past sessions into token-saving rules, and one-click add-ons (MarkItDown, Serena, Codebase Memory, Context7, Ponytail, Caveman). 7-day free trial, no credit card. Plans from $3/month.
