Controversy Over OpenAI's Real-Time Voice Route
julianfromstagewise · reddit · 2026-07-11
A Reddit thread sparked debate on whether OpenAI has "abandoned" its older real-time voice model. The post points out that the newly released/available **GPT-Live** in ChatGPT functions more like **STS (Text-to-Speech-to-Text)** rather than the more direct speech-to-speech approach used previously. The poster feels this design might make the model better at handling complex tasks, but the user experience feels like a step backward.
