About gpt-realtime
GPT-Realtime is OpenAI’s most advanced, production-ready speech-to-speech model, now accessible through the fully available Realtime API. It delivers remarkably natural, expressive audio with fine-grained control over tone, pace, and accent. The model can comprehend nuanced human audio, including laughter, switch languages mid-sentence, and accurately process alphanumeric details like phone numbers across multiple languages. It significantly improves reasoning and instruction-following (achieving 82.8% on the BigBench Audio benchmark and 30.5% on MultiChallenge) and boasts enhanced function calling, now more reliable, timely, and accurate (scoring 66.5% on ComplexFuncBench). The model supports asynchronous tool invocation so conversations remain fluid even during long-running calls. The Realtime API also offers innovative capabilities such as image input support, SIP phone network integration, remote MCP server connection, and reusable conversation prompts.

Higgs Realtime
Higgs Realtime is a production-quality, real-time speech-to-speech model and API built for natural, continuous conversation. It is an end-to-end, instruction-tuned, audio-native model that can understand audio, text, or both and generate high-quality responses, while also functioning as a text LLM when given text alone. Designed for live voice agents, it follows conversations, handles interruptions, adapts when requests change mid-sentence, and carries multi-step workflows through to completion. The model is trained specifically for voice-agent reflexes such as natural turn-taking, conversational cadence, tone adaptation, spoken tool preambles, multi-turn state tracking, and robust instruction following through changing requests. Semantic turn detection helps distinguish a completed turn from a pause, while multilingual and code-switched understanding supports more than 100 languages without per-language setup.

Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0
Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 is xAI’s flagship voice model for building real-time assistants, phone agents, and interactive voice systems that stream audio and text bidirectionally over WebSocket. Developers can configure system instructions, high or no reasoning effort, built-in or custom voices, automatic server-side voice activity detection, silence duration, idle re-engagement, playback speed, and session resumption after temporary disconnects. It accepts PCM, G.711 μ-law, G.711 A-law, and Opus audio through JSON or raw binary frames, with configurable PCM sample rates from telephone quality to 48 kHz. It supports more than 20 languages with native-quality accents, automatic language detection, natural responses in the speaker’s language, and seamless code-switching. Language hints and up to 100 key terms improve transcription of regional speech, names, products, codes, addresses, and specialized terminology, while pronunciation replacements correct spoken output.

gpt-4o-mini Realtime
The gpt-4o-mini-realtime-preview model is a compact, lower-cost, realtime variant of GPT-4o designed to power speech and text interactions with low latency. It supports both text and audio inputs and outputs, enabling “speech in, speech out” conversational experiences via a persistent WebSocket or WebRTC connection. Unlike larger GPT-4o models, it currently does not support image or structured output modalities, focusing strictly on real-time voice/text use cases. Developers can open a real-time session via the /realtime/sessions endpoint to obtain an ephemeral key, then stream user audio (or text) and receive responses in real time over the same connection. The model is part of the early preview family (version 2024-12-17), intended primarily for testing and feedback rather than full production loads. Usage is subject to rate limits and may evolve during the preview period. Because it is multimodal in audio/text only, it enables use cases such as conversational voice agents.
