OpenAI has released GPT Live, featuring two versions, GPT Live 1 and GPT Live Mini, built on a full-duplex architecture that allows for simultaneous listening and speaking. This new model aims to create more natural and continuous interactions, moving away from the previous turn-based and cascaded voice systems which suffered from slowness and stilted responses.
“The new models makes two big architectural changes. The first is that full duplex architecture, which means that GPT Live, they say, is built for continuous interactions.”
“Instead of processing a sequence of separate messages, they write, GPT Live continuously processes input while generating output.”
“This approach Open AI wrote, enabled us to talk to frontier AI models for the first time, but the complexity came at a cost. Information could be lost across models, and responses were slow and stilted.”
