OpenAI will retire Advanced and Standard voice from ChatGPT on 11 December 2026, saying virtually all voice users now use its GPT-Live model.

OpenAI will retire Advanced and Standard voice from ChatGPT Voice on 11 December 2026, leaving GPT-Live as the voice model in ChatGPT.

OpenAI introduced GPT-Live in July. The company said voice usage in ChatGPT has nearly doubled since then and that virtually all people using voice now use GPT-Live. Dropping the older modes lets it simplify the voice experience and focus on improving GPT-Live.

OpenAI said it is bringing lessons from Advanced and Standard voice into GPT-Live, including the depth and detail of responses, continuity across conversations and better personalization. Live video and screen sharing will keep running on Advanced voice until GPT-Live supports them.
