OpenAI lets voice model GPT-Live call its Decisions API directly, deciding actions before users finish speaking (report)

Announced October 15, 2026

Verified (fact)

According to AI Times, OpenAI's developer update on the 15th enabled GPT-Live to call the Decisions API directly. Previously the app had to pass requests along in between; now the model requests decisions itself, reducing processing steps. It can reportedly analyze a conversation and determine the needed action even before the user finishes speaking.

Why it matters (interpretation)

The architectural change reduces response latency for voice agents and affects how real-time customer service and ordering voice apps are built.
