OpenAI recently released the new Realtime API, now available in public beta. This update allows developers to build low-latency, multimodal conversational experiences, supporting both text and audio as inputs and outputs. With the Realtime API, developers can create natural, real-time speech-to-speech interactions without intermediate text conversion, enabling smoother and more interactive user experiences. This feature also supports function calls, allowing voice assistants to trigger actions such as placing orders or retrieving customer data for personalized responses.
Compared to previous setups that required stitching together speech-to-text and text-to-speech functions, the Realtime API provides an all-in-one solution through a persistent WebSocket connection, making interactions faster and more dynamic. It is particularly suitable for customer support, language learning, and other applications requiring seamless natural conversations.
In addition, OpenAI has introduced audio capabilities in the Chat Completions API, allowing both text and audio inputs, with responses in either format. This makes the Realtime API an ideal choice for developers looking to create conversational applications that require emotional expression and low latency. Pricing details indicate that audio input and output tokens cost $0.06 and $0.24 per minute, respectively.
The Realtime API is still in its early stages, and OpenAI plans to introduce additional features such as increased rate limits, SDK support, prompt caching, and new modalities like vision and video. Early user feedback indicates that the latency performance of the Realtime API is impressive, though there is room for improvement in terms of audio output quality and emotional range of responses.

The API is called Realtime API. To use it, developers need to have a paid OpenAI developer account and can create a WebSocket connection through OpenAI's platform interface for real-time interaction. This API can be integrated into applications, making it suitable for scenarios requiring real-time voice conversations. Developers should call the model named 'gpt-4o-realtime-preview' to enable these functions.
