OpenAI's videos say the new ChatGPT Voice is powered by GPT Live. GPT Live is OpenAI's real-time voice model, and GPT-Live-1 is already in the API. We could not load OpenAI's voice feature page to confirm rollout details.

How we checked · Why it matters
How we checked
Video not analyzed; OpenAI RSS confirms GPT-Live exists; chatgpt.com voice page returned 403, so the ChatGPT Voice link is unconfirmed
Why it matters
If ChatGPT Voice runs on GPT Live, it previews how the API's GPT-Live-1 behaves in full-duplex conversation.
