It can listen and speak at the same time, which is the behavior people expect from a natural live conversation rather than a turn-by-turn audio file pipeline. The model page lists <code>gpt-live-1<\/code> as the model ID, with audio and text as both input and output modalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important architecture detail is delegation. GPT-Live 1 handles the spoken interaction while a backend agent can reason, look up information, call tools, or complete a task. The application still owns permissions, confirmation steps, access to business systems, and the record of what actually happened. A spoken answer is not by itself proof that an order, refund, or account change was completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For developers, the Live route is separate from the normal chat and response routes. OpenAI\u2019s model page lists the Live session endpoint as <code>v1\/live\/sessions<\/code>; always recheck the current documentation before implementing a production connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"pricing-at-a-glance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">GPT-Live 1 pricing at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"glb-quick-answer\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"GPT-Live 1 price summary\" style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:1.5rem 0;padding:1.25rem;border:1px solid #b7d9d2;border-radius:8px;background:#f1fbf8;color:#123b3a;max-width:100%\">\n  <style>\n    .glb-quick-answer{margin:1.5rem 0;padding:1.25rem;border:1px solid #b7d9d2;border-radius:8px;background:#f1fbf8;color:#123b3a}\n    .glb-quick-answer h3{margin:.1rem 0 .75rem;color:#123b3a;font-size:1.15rem}\n    .glb-quick-answer ul{margin:.4rem 0 0 1.2rem;padding:0}\n    .glb-quick-answer li{margin:.45rem 0}\n    .glb-quick-answer code{background:#dff3ed;color:#123b3a;padding:.1rem .25rem;border-radius:4px}\n  <\/style>\n  <h3 style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:.1rem 0 .75rem;color:#123b3a;font-size:1.15rem\">\u041a\u0440\u0430\u0442\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043e\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0442<\/h3>\n  <ul style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:.4rem 0 0 1.2rem;padding:0\">\n    <li style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:.45rem 0\"><strong style=\"box-sizing:border-box\">\u041c\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044c:<\/strong> GPT-Live 1 (<code style=\"box-sizing:border-box;font-family:ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,Menlo,monospace;font-size:.92em;background:#dff3ed;color:#123b3a;padding:.1rem .25rem;border-radius:4px\">gpt-live-1<\/code>)<\/li>\n    <li style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:.45rem 0\"><strong style=\"box-sizing:border-box\">Voice session:<\/strong> $0.05 per minute<\/li>\n    <li style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:.45rem 0\"><strong style=\"box-sizing:border-box\">Meter:<\/strong> actual session seconds; no whole-minute round-up<\/li>\n    <li style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:.45rem 0\"><strong style=\"box-sizing:border-box\">Separate charges:<\/strong> backend model usage and tool usage<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official rate card gives one clear number for the Live voice layer.

The session is billed by actual seconds, and backend model and tool usage are separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does GPT-Live 1 round a short call up to a full minute?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The official pricing page says the duration is billed per second without rounding up to a whole minute. Ninety seconds therefore equals 1.5 billable minutes, or $0.075 for the voice layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the $0.05 rate include the reasoning model?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The voice session and the backend model are separate layers. Add the backend model\u2019s actual usage to the voice-layer estimate, then add tool and infrastructure costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is GPT-Live 1 the same as the Realtime API?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. They are separate routes in OpenAI\u2019s audio documentation. GPT-Live 1 uses the published voice-session duration rate; a Realtime implementation must use the current Realtime model and modality pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is GPT-Live 1 the same as text to speech?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Text to speech produces audio from text. GPT-Live 1 is a full-duplex conversation layer that can listen and speak while delegated backend work runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I estimate a monthly GPT-Live 1 budget?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with actual seconds \u00f7 60 \u00d7 $0.05. Add a measured backend estimate per minute and a separate monthly line for tools, telephony, storage, monitoring, and other infrastructure. The calculator above keeps those layers visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I treat GlobalGPT as a drop-in GPT-Live transport?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume that from a general multi-model workspace description. Check the current GlobalGPT model and API documentation for the exact route you need, and use OpenAI\u2019s GPT-Live documentation for the Live session contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-takeaway\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u041f\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0435 \u0432\u044b\u0432\u043e\u0434\u044b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GPT-Live 1 pricing starts at <strong>$0.05 per voice minute<\/strong>, measured by actual seconds.
