GPT-Live-1 mini
GPT-Live-1 mini is one of the two GPT-Live voice models rolling out to ChatGPT users globally, designed to bring more natural, intelligent, and responsive voice interaction to everyday conversations. Built with the same full-duplex approach as GPT-Live, it can listen and speak at the same time instead of waiting for rigid turn-by-turn exchanges. The model continuously processes input while generating output, allowing it to decide many times per second whether to speak, keep listening, pause, interrupt, or invoke a tool. This makes conversations feel faster, smoother, and more natural, with active listening, quick back-and-forth, better timing, and fewer awkward interruptions when the user pauses to think. GPT-Live-1 mini also benefits from the new ChatGPT Voice experience, where users can interrupt with a question, ask ChatGPT to slow down, or tell it to stay quiet and listen.

Gemini 2.5 Pro TTS
Gemini 2.5 Pro TTS is Google’s advanced text-to-speech model in the Gemini 2.5 family, optimized for high-quality, expressive, controllable speech synthesis for structured and professional audio generation tasks. The model delivers natural-sounding voice output with enhanced expressivity, tone control, pacing, and pronunciation fidelity, enabling developers to dictate style, accent, rhythm, and emotional nuance through text-based prompts, making it suitable for applications like podcasts, audiobooks, customer assistance, tutorials, and multimedia narration that require premium audio output. It supports both single-speaker and multi-speaker audio, allowing distinct voices and conversational flows in the same output, and can synthesize speech across multiple languages with consistent style adherence. Compared with lower-latency variants like Flash TTS, the Pro TTS model prioritizes sound quality, depth of expression, and nuanced control.

Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS
Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS is Google’s expressive text-to-speech model for creating custom voices, directed performances, and multilingual audio experiences. The model can generate original voices from natural-language prompts by specifying characteristics such as role, accent, tone, pacing, and vocal style across more than 100 languages and dialects. Users can also replicate an authorized voice from a short audio sample, with consent verification, SynthID watermarking, and C2PA credentials supporting responsible voice creation. Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS provides line-by-line performance control, long-form speech generation, two-speaker scene staging, and support for nonverbal cues such as laughs, sighs, gasps, and conversational backchanneling. It is suited to use cases including games, audiobooks, podcasts, dubbing, interactive voice agents, branded audio, and media localization.

GPT-Live
GPT-Live is a new generation of voice models for natural human-AI interaction, now powering ChatGPT Voice. It is built to make talking with AI feel much more like having a real conversation through a full-duplex architecture, meaning it can listen and speak at the same time. During conversations, GPT-Live can show it is paying attention with short acknowledgments like “mhmm” or “yeah,” engage in quick back-and-forth, or stay quiet when the user needs a moment to think. Instead of processing separate turns one after another, GPT-Live continuously processes input while generating output, allowing it to decide many times per second whether to speak, keep listening, pause, interrupt, or invoke a tool. For questions that require web search, deeper reasoning, or more complex work, GPT-Live can delegate to a frontier model behind the scenes and bring the result back into the conversation when it is ready, while still maintaining the flow of the voice interaction.
