OpenAI's New Voice AI Understands You While Speaking Back—No More Waiting Your Turn

OpenAI released a new voice assistant that listens and speaks at the same time, like a natural conversation rather than taking turns. It launches today on phones and online. The AI handles interruptions, translates live, and picks up on verbal signals that show you're following along. Complex questions go to a more powerful model. Subscribers get the full version; others get a lighter version.
