OpenAI Releases Three New Realtime Voice Models for Developers
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

OpenAI releases three realtime voice models via its Realtime API: GPT-Realtime-2 with GPT-5-class reasoning for handling complex voice requests, interruptions, and tools; GPT-Realtime-Translate for live speech translation from 70+ input languages to 13 outputs; and GPT-Realtime-Whisper for low-latency streaming transcription. These enable new voice applications for developers.

OpenAI has released three new realtime voice models designed to support a new class of voice applications for developers. Each model targets a distinct function in live audio interactions.

The first model, GPT-Realtime-2, introduces GPT-5-class reasoning capabilities to voice conversations. It manages complex requests, maintains natural dialogue flow, calls tools, processes corrections or interruptions, and generates contextually appropriate responses during live exchanges.

GPT-Realtime-Translate provides live speech translation across more than 70 input languages into 13 output languages. The model maintains pace with the speaker to deliver continuous translation during ongoing speech.

GPT-Realtime-Whisper offers low-latency streaming speech-to-text transcription. It converts spoken audio into text in real time, enabling immediate captions and meeting notes that update as conversation progresses.

All three models are available through OpenAI's Realtime API. Developers can access them via the Playground for testing or integrate GPT-Realtime-2 into existing applications using Codex.

Pricing for the models varies by type. GPT-Realtime-2 costs $32 per million audio input tokens, with cached input tokens at $0.40 per million, and $64 per million audio output tokens. GPT-Realtime-Translate is priced at $0.034 per minute, while GPT-Realtime-Whisper is priced at $0.017 per minute.
Additional details on the models and current developer usage are available through OpenAI resources.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Qualcomm launches Dragonfly C1000 CPU for data centers with Meta as key client

Qualcomm introduced its Dragonfly C1000 data center CPU engineered for agentic AI on Wednesday and confirmed Meta as a customer once production begins in 2028. The announcement underscores the mobile-centric chipmaker's drive into higher-growth data center segments where energy efficiency has become a decisive factor amid surging AI-agent workloads.

Google to lower Play Store fees in US, Europe, UK on June 30

Google is set to implement lower Play Store fees and external payment options in Europe, the UK, and the US starting June 30 as part of its Epic Games settlement. The changes introduce a 10 percent service fee on the first $1 million in annual earnings for small developers and expand globally through 2027.

CISA Warns Hackers Are Actively Exploiting Severe Ubiquiti Flaws

CISA placed three severe Ubiquiti UniFi OS vulnerabilities and one critical Lantronix command injection flaw into its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on June 23, 2026, after confirming active attacks. Federal agencies must apply patches or mitigations within three days under BOD 26-04, while Bishop Fox demonstrated the Ubiquiti issues can be chained for full remote code execution and released a free detection script.
