OpenAI to Retire Old ChatGPT Voice Modes, Shift Users to Live Voice from December 11
OpenAI will retire its Advanced and Standard voice modes in ChatGPT on December 11, transitioning users to the newer Live voice mode. Introduced in July, GPT-Live enables more natural, simultaneous listening and speaking, allowing faster, interactive conversations. The company aims to simplify the voice experience and enhance GPT-Live using feedback from older modes, focusing on response depth, conversation continuity, and personalization. Older voice options will no longer be selectable after the change.
