OpenAI has made outbound SIP phone calling generally available for GPT-Live, letting any organization's backend dial phone numbers through a SIP trunking provider without requiring an incoming-call webhook. Developers configure a SIP trunk pointing to OpenAI's endpoint and create a session to place calls, with TLS for signaling and SRTP mandated for call audio.
Perplexity has updated the voice mode in its Mac app and web version to run on OpenAI's gpt-live-1 model, which can listen while it speaks. The update, available now to Pro and Max subscribers, lets users manage multiple Computer sessions, start new tasks, and handle Projects within a single voice session.
OpenAI announced that ChatGPT's mobile app now supports voice-triggered agentic workflows, letting users create documents, draft emails or summarize Slack messages through the Work tab. Plus and Pro subscribers get expanded capabilities including building sites, presentations and using a cloud browser, while Free and Go users can access plugins and connected apps. Users can also switch between text and voice mid-conversation and resume tasks started on mobile on desktop.
OpenAI has opened API access to GPT-Live-1, a voice model that can listen and speak simultaneously and hand off complex reasoning or tool use to text models like GPT-6 Astra. The model, already used in ChatGPT, lets developers customize tone and pacing, handle background noise, and support full-duplex phone-based voice agents. Early testing by language-learning company Speak found it cut conversational interruptions by nearly 80% compared with older turn-based voice systems.
