OpenAI has described the architecture behind GPT-Live, a realtime voice system it says was developed in six months. The system is designed for continuous voice interaction, allowing users to speak with an AI without the stop-and-start pattern typical of conventional voice assistants.
According to the company, the key to the system is a turnless speech model, which removes the need for explicit turn boundaries. Combined with a low-latency architecture, this approach aims to make conversations faster and more natural.
