OpenAI revealed on 8 July 2026 new voice models designed for more natural live conversations. The lead GPT-Live can listen and speak at the same time, a Reuters update said. Observers noted the launch moves the firm nearer to a truly accessible AGI.
The company expanded Codex access from multiple locations and announced plans run ads in France, Germany and Ireland. A upcoming AI device is reported to feature its own voice. These moves broaden OpenAI’s services throughout Europe and boost its developer tools.
