OpenAI rolls out GPT-Live-1.1 to Voice in ChatGPT, Codex and dots: better accents, fewer "checking..." pauses and new voices in six languages

Why it matters

【Key points】

OpenAI announced GPT-Live-1.1 on X. Voice in ChatGPT, Codex and dots now uses the new model, which brings new voices, better accents and fewer "checking..." pauses. New voices cover French, German, Hindi, Mexican Spanish, Korean and Japanese. OpenAI says it is rolling out today to all users, with the API "coming soon."

Our earlier coverage of GPT-Live-1 in the API: e/55

【Our read】

1. This is a point release about feel rather than a capability jump: accents, voices and pauses are exactly what users complain about in everyday voice use.

2. The timing is notable: a day earlier SpaceXAI launched Grok Voice 3.0 and took the top spot on Artificial Analysis's speech-to-speech index (e/867). The voice-model race is speeding up.

3. OpenAI gave no new benchmark or latency numbers, so the size of the improvement rests on hands-on testing for now; API timing and pricing are what developers will watch next.
