GPT-Live 1 now available on AI Gateway

GPT-Live 1 supports simultaneous listening and speaking plus delegation to a separate text model, enabling interruptible voice agents without coupling conversation and deep work.

Source Summary

**GPT-Live 1** is available through Vercel AI Gateway as a full-duplex voice model that can listen while speaking. Its **client delegation** lets an application send deeper work to a separately chosen text model while the voice session continues.

Practical Implication

For a voice agent, keep conversational interaction in the live model and explicitly govern delegated tools or text models with permissions, confirmations, and cancellation. Wait for `session-started` before sending audio.

Integration requires **AI SDK 7**, `@ai-sdk/openai` 4.0.67 or later, and a WebSocket client. Delegated requests are billed separately, voice usage continues during them, and the shown snippets omit several production concerns.
Connected Context · Feed7 Judgment

This confirms full-duplex voice as a distinct agent runtime rather than merely a speech front end, while client delegation separates continuous conversation from deeper text-model work. Against modular transcription routes, it offers a more integrated loop but adds concurrent billing and a new permission, confirmation, and cancellation boundary; it does not establish a preferred voice model without workload testing.
