Now, ChatGPT maker OpenAI has announced three new voice models that it believes will unlock a new class of voice apps for developers.

Each AI voice model is designed for a different purpose, including in-depth reasoning, translation, and transcription. If youre looking for a voice model along those lines, they could be worth a shot. According to OpenAI, the new models include the following: Latest Videos From You may like OpenAI introduces ChatGPT 5.4 Thinking for solving bigger problems I tested the new ChatGPT-5.4 mini and nano models ChatGPTs backup model just got smarter as OpenAI adds a new Pro option GPTRealtime2, our first voice model with GPT5class reasoning that can handle harder requests and carry the
conversation forward naturally. GPTRealtimeTranslate, a new live translation model that translates speech from 70+ input languages into 13 output
languages while keeping pace with the speaker. GPTRealtimeWhisper, a new streaming speech-to-text that transcribes speech live as the speaker talks. OpenAIs news post explains that the company has seen developers use AI voice models in three distinct ways: by asking the AI to carry out a task; by
having the AI explain a situation (such as a travel delay) to the user; and
by having conversations in the users local language.

Its those use cases that OpenAI is trying to address with its new voice models. Each is designed for developers to use in their own apps, and all three are available as part of OpenAIs Realtime API. GPT-Realtime-2 will cost $32 per one million input tokens and $64 per one million output tokens. GPT-Realtime-Translate is priced at $0.034 per minute, while GPT-Realtime-Whisper costs $0.017 per minute. Three new tools for developers (Image credit: OpenAI) If youre after an AI model that is able to reason deeply and adapt to conversation flows, OpenAI says the new GPT-Realtime-2 option is for you. Developers can use it to check multiple sources at once, adjust its tone depending on the users input, tap into more advanced
reasoning levels, and parse specialized terms (such as proper nouns and expressions used in healthcare and production).

Translation apps, on the other hand, can put GPT-Realtime-Translate to use converting speech in real time. Users will be able to speak their own
language and have it translated and transcribed without delay. This model works with over 70 input languages and 13 output languages. Get daily

And if you want audio to be transcribed quickly and accurately, theres GPT-Realtime-Whisper. This model is useful for creating captions, meeting notes, and summaries as conversations are ongoing, OpenAI says, which means live products can feel faster, more responsive, and more natural.

If you want to try out any of the new models, theyre available in OpenAIs Playground site. And if youre using Codex , OpenAI has created a prompt that will directly add GPT-Realtime-2 to the agentic coding platform.
