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.

GPT-Live-1
GPT-Live-1 is one of the two new GPT-Live voice models rolling out to ChatGPT users globally, built to make talking with AI feel much more like having a real conversation. It is powered by a full-duplex architecture, so it can listen and speak at the same time instead of waiting for one rigid turn to end before the next begins. During conversations, GPT-Live-1 can show it is paying attention with short acknowledgments, engage in quick back-and-forth, pause when the user needs a moment to think, or stay quiet when asked to listen. It continuously processes input while generating output, allowing the model to decide many times per second whether to speak, keep listening, pause, interrupt, or invoke a tool. GPT-Live-1 also separates natural interaction from deeper work: when a question requires web search, reasoning, or more agentic capabilities, it can delegate the task to a frontier model behind the scenes and bring the result back when it is ready.

Amazon Polly
Amazon Polly is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing you to create applications that talk, and build entirely new categories of speech-enabled products. Polly's Text-to-Speech (TTS) service uses advanced deep learning technologies to synthesize natural sounding human speech. With dozens of lifelike voices across a broad set of languages, you can build speech-enabled applications that work in many different countries.
In addition to Standard TTS voices, Amazon Polly offers Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS) voices that deliver advanced improvements in speech quality through a new machine learning approach. Polly’s Neural TTS technology also supports two speaking styles that allow you to better match the delivery style of the speaker to the application: a Newscaster reading style that is tailored to news narration use cases, and a Conversational speaking style that is ideal for two-way communication like telephony applications.

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.
