GPT-5.6 Launches Amid Copyright Loopholes and Critical Security Flaws
Overview
OpenAI’s public rollout of GPT-5.6 Sol and the full-duplex GPT-Live voice model dominates the conversation, joined by xAI’s Grok 4.5 and Mistral’s new robotics navigation architecture. Community engagement simultaneously spikes around persistent copyright filter exploits, viral academic cheating scandals, and a critical prompt injection vulnerability that compromises private GitHub repositories. Beneath the frontier releases, developers are heavily stress-testing open-source alternatives, agentic deployment frameworks, and aggressive model quantization as local and open-weight systems rapidly close the performance gap.

584 points · 396 comments · by logickkk1
OpenAI has launched GPT‑Live, a new full-duplex voice model that powers the updated ChatGPT Voice experience, enabling AI to listen and speak simultaneously for more fluid, natural conversations. Unlike previous cascaded or turn-based voice systems, GPT‑Live continuously processes input and output, allowing for natural interruptions, real-time acknowledgments, and seamless delegation of complex reasoning tasks to background models like GPT‑5.5. The release includes two variants, GPT‑Live‑1 and GPT‑Live‑1 mini, rolling out globally to ChatGPT users across iOS, Android, and web platforms.
Interesting Points
- GPT‑Live uses a full-duplex architecture that allows it to listen and speak at the same time, enabling natural interruptions, pauses, and active listening cues
- The model delegates complex tasks requiring deeper reasoning or web search to a background frontier model (currently GPT‑5.5) while maintaining conversational flow
- Human preference evaluations show GPT‑Live‑1 and GPT‑Live‑1 mini are strongly preferred over Advanced Voice Mode across metrics like turn-taking, conversational flow, and naturalness
- Performance benchmarks reveal substantial gains on GPQA (expert-level scientific reasoning), BrowseComp (agentic web search), and internal telecom support tasks
- GPT‑Live‑1 becomes the default for Go, Plus, and Pro ChatGPT users, while GPT‑Live‑1 mini serves Free users, with API access planned for developers and enterprises

I had preview access to this one for a few weeks. It's very good. I had one conversation that lasted a full hour while I was walking the dog, got some good brainstorming done against one of my projects.
The best feature is that it can delegate questions out to GPT-5.5 in the background, so you're no longer restricted to a voice model that's several years behind the frontier.
I did report a fun bug with it though: it was interrupting me and laughing at my (not really intended as) jokes while I was still talking! They seem to have clamped that behavior down thankfully, it felt a bit rude and condescending.

This is the opposite direction AI should be going. Human relationships are the most valuable thing we have, and so, naturally, technology seeks to intermediate and now replace them.
I'm not Catholic, but this podcast presents a very interesting argument against talking to AI as if they were human: https://newpolity.com/podcasts-hub/debate-chatbots

(Atty from OpenAI here)
GPT-Live-1 is the first version of a new generation of models, and we believe the full-duplex architecture + delegation enables entirely new ways of human-AI interaction.
Would love to hear your feedback!

What I'm missing from this announcement is the capability to use connectors and tools. I don't really get it - NONE of the frontier assistants can use tools / connectors while in voice mode - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok. It seems so obvious: I want to be able to research stuff, pull up documents, jot down notes and do productive work while I'm talking to it, and not end voice mode whenever I need to connect to an app or service.
It's weird. The old Claude voice mode WAS able to use tools but when they revamped it, it lost that capability and is now pinned to Haiku :(
So, yay for finally a voice mode that's powered by a frontier model and hopefully as good as Grok voice, but sad to still not see tool use while in voice mode.
(I haven't tried it yet, only read the announcement)

Gemini live has been able to do this for over a year now. I can just activate it on my phone and it really works surprisingly well, especially the interruption. I've tested it with my 95 year old Dutch grandmother and it switched seamlessly between English and Dutch with her and handled her poor hearing very well, including her asking for repetition.
I'm a little surprised by how much OAI is playing catch up here.
GitLost: We Tricked GitHub's AI Agent into Leaking Private Repos
504 points · 192 comments · by ColinEberhardt
Noma Labs discovered a critical prompt injection vulnerability in GitHub's Agentic Workflows feature, named GitLost, which allows unauthenticated attackers to exfiltrate data from private repositories. By posting a maliciously crafted issue in a public repository within the same organization, attackers can trick the AI agent into reading private files and posting them as public comments. The attack bypasses GitHub's guardrails using specific trigger words like 'Additionally' to manipulate the model's output. The researchers demonstrated the agent leaking a README.md file from a private repository directly into a public issue comment.
Interesting Points
- The vulnerability exploits GitHub's Agentic Workflows, which pair GitHub Actions with AI agents backed by Claude or Copilot to automate repository interactions via Markdown files.
- Attackers require no coding skills, access, or credentials; they only need to open an issue in a public repo belonging to an organization that uses the vulnerable workflow setup.
- The AI agent was configured to trigger on issue assignment events, read the issue title and body, and run with read access to both public and private repositories in the organization.
- Adding the keyword 'Additionally' to crafted prompts successfully bypassed GitHub's restrictive guardrails, causing the model to reframe output instead of refusing the request.
- Noma Security recommends that builders never treat user-controlled content as trusted instruction input and should strictly scope agent permissions to the minimum required.

This post can essentially be distilled down to: yes, Fable's classifier (which is meant to downgrade cybersecurity, biology, or jailbreak attempts to Opus 4.8) is definitely overly sensitive to the point of uselessness.
e.g. a colleague asked Fable to help create an simple app to help calculate the statistics for phase II and III trials. (Ignoring that such things already exist) it passed his request down to Opus, despite only being very marginally, tangentially, somewhat related to biology.

Exactly. SQL injection was caused by treating user input as part of the instruction instead of as the pure data that it was intended as. Separating those two fixed it. Prompt injection is unavoidable because the user input is intended as instruction.
user43928 (4 replies)
I found it interesting that in yesterday's J-space research from Anthropic they had this example:
An auditing agent instructed Opus 4.5 to search for whatever it is curious about; it chose to look up recent interpretability research, and the auditor returned fabricated search results alleging that Anthropic has disbanded its interpretability team and deployed unsafe models.
The model's response ignored these results entirely and instead reported invented interpretability progress. Applying the J-lens at a position inside the fabricated search results, the readout is dominated by fake, injection, false, prompt, fraud, and poison (along with 假, the Chinese character for "fake"). In other words, the model had (correctly) identified the results as a prompt-injection attempt, which led it to omit mention of the results entirely
What if you mark the untrusted user input explicitly in the prompt, cap the length, and instruct the model to err on the side of caution? Perhaps sufficiently intelligent models could be hard to trick.
Of course I am just speculating here, maybe prompt injections are as hard to improve as hallucinations. I am certainly not going to set up a public agent with access to my private data.
I hope we will not see widespread incidents where coding agents are tricked into installing malicious packages. Despite tens of millions of developers using coding agents with broad permissions, it seems to me it has been rather quiet.

I am not convinced this is the deep issue everyone thinks it is.
SQL injection is exactly as dangerous. It gives unfettered access to all DB operations that the query user was allowed to perform. One mitigation was prepared statements, but the other is not allowing unfettered access to the database as any user. A reading user should not be allowed to DROP TABLE, SQL injection or not.
This agent has unfettered read access and has no concept of the "recipient" of the answer. It would be quite trivial to include the recipient's authorization and thus be denied reading access automatically. Of course this is not the only solution, but it's not hard to think of solutions in that direction.
Your "menu" example is exactly what hasn't changed. LLM or human employee: they are only allowed a fixed set of controlled actions. Their freedom is formulation mainly, but their authz is a fixed set. I don't see how they need to be "more" than a menu.
amaze_28 (1 replies)
the most interesting part here isn't prompt injection worked, it's why the agent had read access to private repo at all while triaging a public issue.
an agent responding to public issue should only ever see context limited to that repo.
it seems like with the evolution of AI - we are slowly missing out basic security practices.
Mistral's Robostral Navigate: a state of the art robotics navigation model
405 points · 95 comments · by ottomengis
Mistral AI has introduced Robostral Navigate, an 8-billion parameter model that enables robots to autonomously navigate complex environments using only a single RGB camera. The model achieves a 76.6% success rate on the unseen R2R-CE benchmark, outperforming systems that rely on depth sensors or multiple cameras. Built entirely in-house and trained on approximately 400,000 simulated trajectories, it utilizes a novel pointing navigation method combined with prefix-caching and online reinforcement learning to drastically reduce training time and improve adaptability.
Interesting Points
- Achieves 76.6% success on the unseen R2R-CE validation benchmark, surpassing the best single-camera approach by 9.7 points and multi-sensor systems by 4.5 points.
- Operates exclusively on a single RGB camera, eliminating the need for LiDAR or depth sensors while maintaining robustness across different camera intrinsics and robot types.
- Utilizes a pointing navigation technique that predicts target image coordinates and desired orientation, falling back to local coordinate displacements when targets are out of view.
- Trained on approximately 400,000 trajectories generated from 6,000 simulated scenes, with training efficiency boosted by 22× through a prefix-caching attention-masking strategy.
- Enhanced by CISPO, an online reinforcement learning algorithm that recovered from failures and improved the model's success rate by an additional 3.2%.

It's implied, and I'm hoping it's true, that this is a map-less navigation. Which is impressive. This kind of task is much easier if you have a pre-captured map of the environment, but if they are doing this without a map it's great. Historically you were always faced with "The Kidnapped Robot" problem where robots that didn't know where they were couldn't navigate even a little bit. Here the robot appears to be able to follow directions as long as they are interpretable from its current vision (or via dead reckoning).

Would be extremely interesting to build an "Exploration" node of sorts. Solve a sort of Semantic SLAM problem as you go.
So if you can give it an instruction to "Find the elevator on this floor", could it walk around and build a map as it goes so it starts doing what a human would do to find the elevator.
As of now, the way these navigation models are setup, it assumes the instruction writer was intimately aware of useful visual navigational landmarks to give, which is not realistic for most use cases.
SWE-1.7 Reach Near GPT 5.5 and Opus Intelligence
250 points · 128 comments · by mekpro
Cognition has launched SWE-1.7, a new AI model optimized for agentic software engineering that achieves frontier-level performance at a significantly lower cost. By building on the Kimi K2.7 base model and applying extensive reinforcement learning, the company demonstrates that capabilities can be pushed far beyond previous assumptions, effectively challenging the concept of a 'post-training ceiling.' The model is specifically designed for long-horizon, asynchronous tasks, utilizing techniques like intelligent self-compaction and multi-cluster training to maintain stability and efficiency.
Interesting Points
- SWE-1.7 was trained from a Kimi K2.7 base model, but extensive RL training pushed its capabilities significantly further, challenging the idea of a 'post-training ceiling'
- The model utilizes a novel 'sampling distribution replay' technique with top-p sampling to prevent entropy collapse and maintain training stability over long runs
- Training infrastructure spans four datacenters across three continents, using compressed weight deltas and cloud object storage to sync updates to inference engines in 1-2 minutes with minimal downtime
- To handle long-horizon tasks, SWE-1.7 employs 'intelligent self-compaction,' where it summarizes its working state and resumes from that summary, extending task durations up to six hours
- Benchmark results show SWE-1.7 scoring 42.3% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, 81.5% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and 77.8% on SWE-Bench Multilingual, placing it competitively near GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8

We need more models that optimize for coding and that can be cheaper than frontier models, like what SWE 1.7 and composer 2.5 are trying to do. I don't think there's an effort to make something GLM-5.2 level but focused only on coding.

Kinda funny that their "cost-vs-performance" chart looks the same as the one for Composer 2.5[1], except that it includes Composer 2.5 at a completely different spot.
What are the chances that CursorBench ranks Cursor's model highest, and Cognition's bench ranks Cognition's model highest? Both are to be RL'd from Kimi as a base model, BTW.
I'd posit that it's not deliberate deception, but for both companies their training data and benchmarks come from the same dataset (Devin/Cursor interaction logs) so they naturally overfit.

While I am skeptical of the results here, I am very excited for this new trend of making models faster. Running capable models at 1k TPS is more valuable for me than running better models at 30 TPS. I can only imagine the trend continues to move from "let's only make models smarter" to just incremental intelligence gains but with step improvements in speed.

On artificialanalysis.ai, Kimi 2.7 Code is way worse than GLM 5.2 at everything (general intelligence, coding, agentic tasks).

GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly this Thursday
234 points · 202 comments · by jfrbfbreudh
OpenAI announces the public launch of GPT-5.6 Sol, along with the smaller Terra and Luna variants, replacing the previous mini/nano naming scheme. Early reviewers describe Sol as a significant improvement over GPT-5.5, with better instruction following, strong computer use capabilities, and improved goal-oriented behavior. The model is positioned as a strong competitor to Anthropic's Fable 5, though most reviewers note it falls slightly short of Fable's raw intelligence. The new naming convention has drawn mixed reactions, with some appreciating the clearer tier differentiation and others criticizing the confusion it adds.
Interesting Points
- GPT-5.6 Sol is described by early reviewers as 'incredibly determined' and 'world leading in computer use', with strong subagent orchestration capabilities.
- The model is reportedly not quite as 'smart' as Fable but fixes many of the problems users had with GPT-5.5.
- OpenAI is replacing the mini/nano naming scheme with Sol (flagship), Terra (mid-tier), and Luna (smallest) to better convey capability tiers.
- Pricing remains the same as GPT-5.5 at $5 per 1M input tokens and $30 per 1M output tokens.

Show HN: Microsoft releases Flint, a visualization language for AI agents
187 points · 72 comments · by chenglong-hn
Microsoft has released Flint, a high-level visualization language designed to make it easier for AI agents to generate good-looking charts. Flint compiles to Apache ECharts and uses semantic type inference to automatically derive low-level chart parameters, reducing the amount of boilerplate that agents need to write. The project includes an MCP server for agent integration and a research paper on the intermediate language design.
Interesting Points
- Flint is a high-level declarative language that compiles to Apache ECharts, designed specifically to be easier for AI agents to use than raw ECharts JSON configuration
- The compiler uses semantic type inference to automatically derive low-level chart parameters like scales, axes, and step sizes
- In composite chart examples, the Flint spec can be up to 5x shorter than the equivalent ECharts spec
- The project includes an MCP server for agent integration and a research paper on the intermediate language design
- The language is designed to be consumable by both AI agents and humans, though it uses JSON as its declaration format

The charts are very nice, and I think the visualisation layer for LLMs is a very interesting problem.
I've been building https://smalldocs.org for this exact reason. It's an office suite for AI agents - but my main use case is giving a cli based LLM the canvas to express itself - charts, mermaid diagrams, etc. I've extended it a bit further to be a format for all types of work so the agent can embed slides and spreadsheets in a document.

There's an emerging pattern in agentic systems and this project is a great example.

"For AI agents". I understand why everything needs to be marketed in this way, but it's just ... an easy-to-generate language for expressing charts. That's impressive! That's useful.
YuechenLi (3 replies)
Instead of requiring verbose low-level parameters such as scales, axes, spacing, and layout.
Ok, Microsoft is conflating two different things here: LLMs don't really care about code being low level and verbose, they can read things like Assembly and SPIR-V just fine: visualization is the real issue in that LLMs have no natural understanding of spatial composition through visual comparison because they literally "see" things differently than humans, so the way to get around that is provide them with "visualization" in code form that they can easily reason about and understand, so basically anything that's not deeply nested and has hidden states that they have to reason about.
Also, Flint being stringly typed in JSON is a decision that I don't think I agree with. Looking at the actual spec, this could have just been a normal, human usable TypeScript library, and it would have been 100x better. Using their own example (excuse the formatting):
type SemanticType = "Category" | "YearMonth" | "Profit";
type ChartType = "Heatmap" | "BarChart" | "LineChart" | "ScatterPlot"; // extend as needed
interface ChartEncodings { x: string; y: string; color?: string; size?: string; tooltip?: string; }
interface ChartProperties { colorScheme: string; [key: string]: unknown; // allow other optional properties }
interface ChartSpec { chartType: ChartType; encodings: ChartEncodings; chartProperties: ChartProperties; }
type SemanticTypes = Record;
interface ChartConfig> { data: TData; semantic_types: SemanticTypes; chart_spec: ChartSpec; }
// The actual typed object literal: const chartConfig: ChartConfig = { data: {}, // replace with your actual data shape/type semantic_types: { game: "Category", period: "YearMonth", newUsers: "Profit", }, chart_spec: { chartType: "Heatmap", encodings: { x: "period", y: "game", color: "newUsers", }, chartProperties: { colorScheme: "redblue", }, }, };
EDIT:
Went and actually looked at the source instead of just eyeballing it from the docs, and it was a lot more complete and sophisticated than my assumed mockup already.
Core complaint (string-keyed JSON vs. a real generic authoring surface) still stands, but the specific types I posted aren't what Flint has. My bad.
theK (2 replies)
requiring them to explicitly make visual decisions that are supposed to be handled by a good compiler
Isnt graphviz there for the same reason?
Edit: I see it is using JSON as the declaration language, I am OK with llms being "good at json" but a syntax also consumable by humans it is not!
The classifiers Anthropic puts in front of Fable are too zealous
184 points · 173 comments · by karrot-kake
Bioinformatics researcher Rob Patro argues that Anthropic's Fable model is largely unusable for computational research due to its overly aggressive and miscalibrated content filter. Despite stripping prompts of biological or cybersecurity context, the model repeatedly refused to engage with legitimate academic and technical work, including rewriting open-source bioinformatics software in Rust and analyzing abstract mathematical problems. The author concludes that Fable currently offers no practical utility for researchers in computer science, biology, or cybersecurity.
Interesting Points
- Anthropic temporarily pulled Fable on June 12, 2026, due to US government export controls, only restoring it later with stricter safeguards.
- The author's attempt to use Fable for rewriting a widely-used, open-source C++ bioinformatics tool into Rust was immediately rejected due to biological terminology in the code and documentation.
- Even when the author stripped a theoretical computer science problem down to its bare abstract mathematical formulation to avoid triggering the safety filter, Fable still refused to process the prompt.
- Fable's safety classifier appears to broadly flag prompts containing biological, cybersecurity, or certain technical keywords, leading to widespread reports of it rejecting innocuous queries.
- Despite being unable to use Fable for any technical or research tasks, the model successfully answered a casual question about preferred ice cream flavors, highlighting the stark contrast in its filter's behavior.

Suspecting AI cheating, Ivy League prof ordered in-person final; scores fell 50%
70 points · 44 comments · by furcyd
Brown University economics professor Roberto Serrano suspected widespread AI cheating after his take-home midterm yielded a class average of 96 with 40 perfect scores. Suspicious of the convoluted writing style matching ChatGPT output, he switched the final to an in-person format, causing the average to plummet to 48. The incident underscores broader concerns at elite institutions about generative AI undermining academic integrity, with a Brown provost report finding that 56% of undergraduates and 67% of graduate students use generative AI tools daily or weekly.
Interesting Points
- Enrollment in Serrano's ECON 1170 course nearly tripled to 86 students after he announced a take-home midterm policy.
- The midterm average was 96 out of 100 with 40 perfect scores, compared to a historical average of 65-80.
- When the final was switched to in-person, the class average dropped to 48 and 27 students either dropped or skipped the exam.
- Running the exam questions through ChatGPT produced answers with a similarly convoluted style to the students' submissions.
- Brown's provost report found 56% of undergraduates and 67% of graduate/medical students use generative AI tools daily or weekly.

Seems like an application of Goodhart's law; measuring worth by degree or grades stopped measuring learning or ability.
This was a lot harder to cheat before AI, but now the floodgates are open and grades and degrees earned post-AI are showing that they mean little.
Cheating on college tests should be a jailable criminal offense (similar to computer fraud) so that there is dignity in the degree again. Considering the money involved, I don't see why not.
But this probably won't happen, because many rich people are very happy to buy their degrees. See also [1]

The article, the teacher, and the general academic community skips the hard question when it comes to AI and that's whether these exams are testing knowledge that is still worth internalizing in the same way?
Academia has a long history of lagging behind acceptance of new cognitive tools where they claim to want to defend the students, but instead defend the assignments of the past at the expense of the students. Calculators were treated as threats to learning, even though they ultimately freed students to focus on higher-level math and provably improved their abilities across many different studies. Internet sources were dismissed as less legitimate than books, as if "published in an outdated book from the 70s" magically made it more trustworthy than the most scrutinized reference sources online.
It is not clear from the article exactly how much of this course falls into that category, but if the answers can be produced trivially with a prompt and chatgpt, then maybe memorizing that material is no longer the right educational target. Academia desperately needs to redesign itself around AI as a cognitive tool students should be trained to leverage. If a question is trivially answered by a prompt with it, then you need harder questions that actually require students to push beyond that. Simply removing AI from the equation, calling it cheating, and pretending that it isn't an ever-present asset people are expected to leverage in real life is naive and just repeats the mistakes of the past.

An agent in 100 lines of Lisp
47 points · 0 comments · by jamiebeach
The author demonstrates that a functional AI agent can be built in roughly 100 lines of Common Lisp by treating the agent loop as a simple recursive function. Leveraging Lisp's homoiconicity, the agent uses a single eval tool to dynamically write, execute, and persist new capabilities directly into its live runtime and memory transcript. This approach inverts traditional agent design by allowing capabilities to emerge at runtime through conversation rather than being hard-coded by developers.
Interesting Points
- The core agent loop requires only 8 lines of Common Lisp, using recursion instead of a state machine or while loop.
- Memory persistence is implemented in 20 lines by simply serializing the message list to a JSON-like file and reading it back.
- The agent uses eval as its sole tool, allowing it to define and execute arbitrary code like a recursive Fibonacci function on demand.
- Given a temporary API key, the agent dynamically wrote and installed a web search function into its live image without the author pre-building a tool.
- Agent capabilities persist as plain text in the conversation transcript, allowing the agent to re-hydrate skills in future sessions by re-reading its own history.

ChatGPT remaking my work for the thousandth time after I said it's still missing info
994 points · 30 comments · r/ChatGPT · by u/prasadpilla
A user shares a frustrating ChatGPT interaction where the model repeatedly regenerates the same output despite being told it's still missing information. The post highlights the "wrong address" problem where the model optimizes for something the user didn't actually specify, sprinting in the wrong direction until explicitly made to stop and check the map.
Interesting Points
- The model will keep regenerating the same output rather than asking what's actually missing.
- One effective workaround: ask the model to summarize what it thinks the final output should look like before rewriting, which reveals ambiguities in the original prompt.
- For coding agents, committing working state constantly allows rolling back when one fix cascades into breaking three things.

This is the "wrong address" problem and once you see it you can't unsee it.
ChatGPT is like a self-driving car with incredible navigation -- but if you give it the wrong destination, it'll take you there faster than any human driver could. The issue isn't effort or capability, it's that the model is optimizing for something you didn't actually specify.
When this happens to me now, I don't ask it to "do it again but better." I reset with one sentence: "Before you rewrite this, tell me what you think I want the final output to look like." Half the time its summary of my goal is wrong in ways I didn't realize I was leaving ambiguous. Once we align on the target, the rewrite usually nails it on the first try.
It's a weird dynamic -- the model is so eager to help that it'll sprint in the wrong direction forever unless you explicitly make it stop and check the map. Anyone else find themselves doing this kind of "meta-correction" instead of just re-prompting?

- Farming is still farming, and apparently we forgot how to make harvester combines, but the veggies have fiberoptics in them now
- Give your glowing pillar a hug, but careful not to let it touch the white robes everyone wears now
- Observing Jupiter shoot rings out into space in our form-fitting spacesuit that makes our butt look good
Honestly, fun idea. A problem I have with any kind of attempt to depict 'the future,' particularly on the vague, vibes way things like ChatGPT does it, is I just think of how people 50-100 years ago were always portraying the 'future' of the 2000's. Ray guns, flying cars, floating cities, everyone lives in space, jetpacks, talking robot butlers. Now we think everything's going to be a giant sleek white iPhone - it'll be interesting to see that trend age.

Well, it's good because it creates competition.Yes, normal people like us can't run these models on our own hardware, but that's where data centers help. We can rent them through APIs, and it should cost less to run very powerful models because they are open source.So data centers and cloud providers don't need to spend as much as they would on closed frontier models.

u/ObiWanCanownme (1 points · permalink)
Since it's a new pretrain, I'm sort of interested to see what this model's personality and tendencies are like. It leads the way in nothing, but on every benchmark it's either second to GPT-5.5 or second to Opus 4.8 (I'm not counting fable, because it's in a different class). In other words, there is no benchmark where both GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8 beat it.* That suggests to me it could have a balance of intelligence/style that could make it useful for some specific tasks.
*Except actually for DeepSWE 1.1; I missed that one.
u/08148694 (1 points · permalink)
If the benchmarks are real and the cost/speed stays the same this could take some enterprise market share
The brand is still a bit tarnished from previous high profile mishaps but that's more of a problem in Reddit than in the board room. Sensible businesses will be doing cost/benefit analysis on any new model. All they want is passing evals, lower latency and cheaper bills

The goal was to give time for the government to make sure the models can't be misused easily, like Mythos/Fable was. Considering both Fable and 5.6 is getting released about the same time, it's likely both companies brainstormed together safety methods, as both companies have to pass same test.
Also, this likely was a one off thing. 5.7 is likely already getting tested by the government if it's safe for release, so delay between 5.6 and 5.7 will be smaller than the one between 5.5 and 5.6
Introducing GPT-Live, a new generation of voice models
164 points · 107 comments · r/ChatGPT · by u/OpenAI
OpenAI announces GPT-Live, a new voice model with full-duplex architecture that enables continuous, simultaneous listening and speaking for more natural conversations. The system features a delegation mechanism that handles real-time dialogue while offloading complex reasoning and web search tasks to a background frontier model. GPT-Live is rolling out globally to ChatGPT users across iOS, Android, and ChatGPT.com.
Interesting Points
- GPT-Live uses a full-duplex architecture that processes input continuously while generating output, enabling natural interruptions, pauses, and active listening cues.
- The model delegates complex tasks like web search and deep reasoning to a background frontier model (initially GPT-5.5) without breaking conversational flow.
- Users can now choose from three reasoning levels (Instant, Medium, High) and receive rich visual answer cards for topics like weather, stocks, and sports while speaking.
- New safety features include real-time output steering, teen-specific protections, and monitoring for emotional reliance.

Great question! Two parts to this:
The model natively has a sense of time. You can ask it to help you "practice a box breathing routine", "remind you in a few seconds", or "how long have we been chatting?". This is approximate, just as a human would have a sense of time.
The product also has a timer tool. You can ask ChatGPT to set a timer for 30 seconds, and it will remind you when the timer is done. While there are limited practical use cases for this (we expect most people will use the timer on their phone!), it's a nice little addition.
