Woofun AI reports that OpenAI has deployed the GPT-Live architecture to global ChatGPT users, offering GPT-Live-1 mini for free accounts and GPT-Live-1 as the default for paid subscribers. This third-generation model utilizes a full-duplex design to allow simultaneous listening and speaking, incorporating active listening cues like "Hmm" to facilitate natural, turn-free dialogue.

The system separates real-time conversation from complex processing by offloading deep reasoning and search tasks to GPT-5.5 in the background. While awaiting results, the interface maintains conversational flow and can display visual cards for data such as weather or stock updates to enhance user comprehension.
