OpenAI revealed on 8 July 2026 new voice models aimed at more human-like live conversations. The flagship GPT-Live can listen and speak at the same time, a news update said. Observers noted the launch brings it nearer to a truly accessible AGI.
The company also opened Codex access from multiple locations and announced plans run ads in France, Germany and Ireland. A forthcoming AI device is reported to include its own voice. These steps expand OpenAI’s services across Europe and boost its developer tools.
