OpenAI has updated its smaller GPT-6 models, Sol and Luna, following this month's launch of the flagship GPT-6 Astra. The company says API access to the new Sol and Luna models costs half as much as the previous 5.6 series, citing gains in caching and inference, and claims GPT-6 Sol makes roughly half as many factual mistakes as its predecessor while also reducing coding errors.
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.
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Images 2.5, an update to its April image generation model that promises sharper detail, more natural lighting, and better consistency when editing across multiple prompts. The company says generation latency has dropped by up to 50% compared with the original Images 2 model, and it's adding a sketch-to-image feature plus templates and prompt-sharing tools. Developers also get two new API models, GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst, aimed at different levels of editing precision and speed.
