Summary

OpenAI has released gpt-realtime-2, a new speech-to-speech model optimized for real-time voice agent interactions with low-latency tool calling.

OpenAI shipped a new speech-to-speech model today: gpt-realtime-2 This is the first speech-to-speech model good enough to use in my voice agents that do "real work." Or real play, for that matter. Here's gpt-realtime-2 as the brain of the ship AI in Gradient Bang. The voice-to-voice response and tool calling times here are unedited, so you can see exactly what the interaction with the model is like in an agent with a very complex system instruction and frequent tool calls. (I did clip out the subagent task execution segments, after gpt-realtime-2 starts a subagent via a tool call. Subagents in this config used gpt-5.2 "medium" effort.)
