Summary
OpenAI has upgraded the model used by ChatGPT voice mode to GPT‑Live, which delegates complex tasks to GPT‑5.5 in the background while maintaining conversational flow. The new model can perform web search, deeper reasoning, and other frontier tasks, bringing results back into the conversation when ready.
Voice mode previously relied on a GPT‑4o era model with a 2024 knowledge cutoff, limiting its usefulness. During preview, users reported an interrupting laugh bug, which OpenAI has since mitigated.
GPT‑Live will continuously update to newer frontier models as they are released, ensuring that voice interactions remain state‑of‑the‑art.
Key changes
- GPT‑Live uses GPT‑5.5 in background for complex tasks
- Delegates to frontier model while maintaining conversation flow
- Voice mode previously based on GPT‑4o era model
- Bug fix reduces interrupting laugh responses
- Continuous updates will replace GPT‑5.5 with newer frontier models
