OpenAI retires Advanced and Standard voice modes from ChatGPT on December 11

We’re retiring Advanced and Standard voice from ChatGPT Voice on December 11, 2026. In July, we introduced GPT-Live, our latest voice model that combines natural conversation with frontier intelligence. Since then, voice usage has nearly doubled, and virtually all people using voice in ChatGPT now use GPT-Live. This change will allow us to simplify the voice experience and focus on improving GPT-Live. We've learned a lot from how people used both Advanced and Standard voice, and we're bringing those learnings into GPT-Live as we continue to improve areas like the depth and detail of responses, maintaining continuity across conversations, and better personalization. Our ultimate goal is to make voice a seamless part of the ChatGPT experience. Live video and screen-sharing will continue to be powered by Advanced voice until GPT-Live has this capability. https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001638
