OpenAI Releases GPT-Live and GPT-Live-1 mini: Full-Duplex Voice Models That Delegate Deeper Reasoning to GPT-5.5
Today, OpenAI released GPT-Live. It is a new generation of voice models. GPT-Live now powers the ChatGPT Voice experience. The stated goal is natural, real-time conversation with AI. Two versions ship first: GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1 mini. Both roll out to ChatGPT users globally today. TL;DR GPT-Live is a full-duplex voice model family that listens and speaks at once. It delegates search and reasoning to GPT-5.5 while keeping the conversation flowing. GPT-Live-1 and mini were stro
GPT-Live is a new full-duplex voice model that can listen and speak simultaneously, enabling more natural real-time conversations with AI. Unlike earlier voice systems that processed speech in discrete turns or through separate pipelines, GPT-Live makes interaction decisions many times per second and delegates complex tasks like web search or deep reasoning to a background model while keeping the conversation flowing. Two versions, GPT-Live-1 and GPT-Live-1 mini, have been evaluated as strongly preferred over previous Advanced Voice Mode in human tests measuring conversational flow and naturalness. The models now power the ChatGPT Voice experience and are rolling out to ChatGPT users globally, with API access planned for the future.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.
Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
