OpenAI has 3 new AI voice models that the ChatGPT maker says will ‘unlock a new class of voice apps for developers’

The models split reasoning, translation and transcription into separate tools, with translation covering more than 70 languages and transcription available through the Realtime API.

  • OpenAI announced three new voice models available via its Realtime API, designed to help developers build specialized artificial intelligence applications for reasoning, translation, and transcription.
  • Enterprises previously struggled with expensive, difficult-to-orchestrate voice agents requiring complex session resets; the new models reduce overhead by integrating audio as discrete orchestration primitives.
  • GPT-Realtime-2 features "GPT-5 class reasoning" for complex requests, while GPT-Realtime-Translate handles 70+ input languages into 13 output languages and GPT-Realtime-Whisper performs streaming transcription making products feel "faster, more responsive, and more natural."
  • Developers can access the models via the OpenAI Playground, with GPT-Realtime-2 priced at $32 per one million input tokens and $64 per one million output tokens, while GPT-Realtime-Translate costs $0.034 per minute and GPT-Realtime-Whisper costs $0.017 per minute.
  • Organizations must now consider their orchestration architecture, specifically whether their stack can manage state across a 128K-token context window; these tools compete against Mistral's Voxtral models, which similarly separate transcription tasks.
