GPT-Realtime-2, Realtime-Translate, and Realtime-Whisper give developers voice agents that can reason, translate across 70+ languages, and transcribe — all in real time. The gap between chatbot and conversational AI just closed significantly.

The trio represents OpenAI's clearest bet yet that voice, not text, will be the primary interface for AI agents in most enterprise and consumer contexts.
