We heard you loud and clear. ChatGPT Voice can now:
- Use plugins like your email, calendar, and Slack.
- Be powered by GPT-6 Astra, Sol, and Luna.
- Be used in ChatGPT Work on web and mobile, so you can create docs, decks, sites, and spreadsheets or tackle complex tasks in the browser, just by talking.
Rolling out globally today in the latest version of the app.
This week's ChatGPT feature drop - Aug 7:
1/ Rich formatting in our web composer – When you paste in emails or documents, our composer will retain the formatting; copying and pasting is so common, we should have done this a while ago!
2/ Updated model for paid users – GPT 5.6 Sol is more consistent across quick chats and deeper reasoning. You'll now get a slider that lets you choose how much thought ChatGPT puts into a response. The haptics (vibrations) on mobile slider are fun!
3/ Unlimited text messages - Free users will get GPT 5.6 Luna with unlimited text messages. More intelligence for all. Rolling out soon.
4/ Fast Android Camera – We've made it a lot faster on Android to tap "camera" in ChatGPT to take a new photo and ask a question.
5/ Voice x Files - You can now upload files and ask questions in our new ChatGPT voice experience powered by GPT-Live.
Team demos were awesome this week. So much in the queue that the next few months are going to be good. Let us know what you're hoping for in the comments!
GPT-Live can listen while it speaks.
To make that feel natural at ChatGPT scale, we rebuilt the voice stack from client to model.
This new architecture keeps audio flowing continuously, so deeper reasoning and tool use don't interrupt the conversation.

We're introducing two new transcription models in the API:
• GPT-Live-Transcribe: built for low-latency live transcription.
• GPT-Transcribe: optimized for asynchronous transcription of completed audio files and batch workloads.
Both models better understand context and deliver more accurate transcription on real world audio across accents and languages, including for short phrases, numbers, specialized terminology, and speech with loud background noise.
ChatGPT Voice is now in the desktop app.
Control your computer and direct multiple agents running in ChatGPT Work or Codex, using just your voice.
It's powered by GPT-Live, so it can speak, listen, and coordinate work in the app at the same time.
Rolling out globally today on macOS and Windows to Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans.

OpenAI is looking for a founder-mode engineer to build the future of dictation in ChatGPT and Codex.
Ideal person has built an amazing dictation product before.
DMs open if that’s you!

Love to see ChatGPT making Voice more prominent
I would guess that <5% of users have really tried Voice Mode
Which is somewhat ironic as the first real mainstream consumer AI experiences (Alexa, Siri) were voice!
This is 1000x better and will blow peoples’ minds

🛟 GPT-Live usage limits are now published in our Help Center
Pro users get unlimited usage daily. Go and Plus users get 1h Live Medium/High, 1h Live, 2h Live mini. Free users get limited usage with Live mini, although exact limits may change over time. We will work hard to increase these limits.

📱 GPT-Live now supports Live Activities on iOS!
Make sure to enable “Background conversations” in Settings > Voice. Working on making this the default soon.

⏩ GPT-Live calls can now go up to 2 hours!
Most useful for Pro users (unlimited daily usage), but also Plus/Go when using Live mini (1h Live, 2h Live mini per day.) We are working hard to increase usage limits.

Playing Taboo with GPT-Live as a teammate. Note the fast back-and-forth action and simultaneous speaking and listening.
(Answers: "breaking point", "mixed signals", "hidden agenda", "blind spot", "chain reaction", "moral dilemma", "unfinished business")

it’s been a privilege to help shape the research alongside such a thoughtful, talented, and relentless group of people. Huge credits to @ritheshkumar_ , Yuchen, Ehsan and rest of the team who brought this model to life. Super proud.
Additionally, it has been super fun to collaborate with @athyuttamre @ding_ran and @juberti and their teams to get the end-to-end experience really great!!
It’s wild to see how teams come together for these launches, very proud to be part of of the crew 💪
Today, the OpenAI product and engineering team is humming, there is so much to coordinate and keep running across the release of GPT 5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna, ChatGPT Work, the new ChatGPT desktop app, hosted sites and a million other things... together with the new ChatGPT Voice just launched yesterday.
We will not get it all right, give us feedback and we will iterate quickly. Thank you for being an amazing community.
