oh doh. thanks ... we just pushed a fix for the crash. Unfortunately our currently implementation needs service works for streaming audio, so the "fix" was to disable the feature if the worker isn't available
S2S is where we're investing the most effort on audio ... sorry it's been slow but we are working hard on it
Top priorities at the moment
1) Better function calling performance
2) Improved perception accuracy (not mishearing)
3) More reliable instruction following
4) Bug fixes (cutoffs, run ons, modality steering)
we're working hard on it at the moment and hope we'll have a snapshot ready in the next month or so
we've debugged the cutoff issues and have fixes for them internally but we need a snapshot that's better across the board, not just cutoffs (working on it!)
we're all in on S2S models both for API and ChatGPT, so there will be lots more coming to Realtime this year
For today: the new noise cancellation and semantic voice activity detector are available in Realtime. And ofc you can use gpt-4o-transribe for user transcripts there
thanks for flagging ... number fidelity (especially on languages that are unfortunately less represented in training data) is still something we're working to improve
It's a slightly better model for TTS. With extra training focusing on reading the script exactly as written.
e.g. the audio-preview model when given instruction to speak "What is the capital of Italy" would often speak "Rome". This model should be much better in that regard

No plans to have localized voice models, but we do want to bring expand the menu of voices with voices that are best at different accents
1/ we've been working a lot on accents, so expect improvements with these models... though we're not done. Would be curious how you find them. And try giving specific detailed instructions + examples for the accents you want
2/ We're doing everything we can to make it fast. Very critical that it can stream audio meaningfully faster than realtime
3+4/ I wouldn't call hallucinations "solved", but it's been the central focus for these models. So I hope you find it much improved

Hey, I'm Jeff and I was PM for these models at OpenAI. Today we launched three new state-of-the-art audio models. Two speech-to-text models—outperforming Whisper. A new TTS model—you can instruct it how to speak (try it on openai.fm!). And our Agents SDK now supports audio, making it easy to turn text agents into voice agents. We think you'll really like these models. Let me know if you have any questions here!
