OpenAI Details the Full-Duplex Design Behind Its Realtime Voice Model
GPT-Live listens and speaks at the same time, deciding many times per second whether to talk, wait or interrupt, and hands hard questions to GPT-5.5 in the background.
OpenAI has published more detail on how GPT-Live produces conversations without turn-taking. The AI Post channel summarized the mechanism as continuous audio, meaning the model listens and speaks at the same time rather than waiting for the…

Voice Interfaces Go Full Duplex
Voice AI moves from turn-taking pipelines to continuous duplex models that own the interaction loop and delegate hard reasoning to larger models in the background, collapsing the separate speech recognition and synthesis vendor stack into a single serving component.
