ChatGPT’s ‘smartest voice model ever’ is rolling out to everyone today — and GPT-Live-1 gives you more natural conversations without interruptions

ChatGPT’s new voice mode is rolling out today to everybody, even Free users
It allows for much more natural conversations and won’t interrupt if you stop talking
You’ll be able to do simultaneous translation for the first time ever in ChatGPT

OpenAI has upgraded ChatGPT’s voice mode for everybody with two new models that are rolling out globally, starting today.
