Why Local Echo Cancellation Still Matters Even With Echo-Robust gpt-live
juberti · x · 2026-10-15
Answering whether a separate echo cancellation step still makes sense long-term versus feeding raw audio to the model: gpt-live is quite robust to echo, but AEC and AGC are deeply intertwined, so local AEC remains useful to ensure the model receives a usable signal. Doing audio preprocessing on-device before the realtime voice model is still the sounder engineering choice.
