OpenAI's GPT-Live-1 API lets developers build apps that talk and listen at the same time

Intel Summary
OpenAI has released its GPT-Live-1 full-duplex speech model as a developer API, enabling applications to talk and listen simultaneously. The model reportedly scores 80.1 percent in interactivity tests, up from 45.4 percent in its predecessor, and is priced at $0.05 per minute.
Why It Matters
Real-time, bidirectional voice capability significantly lowers latency for conversational systems, but the $0.05 per minute pricing introduces notable operational costs for high-volume deployments.
