Introducing the Realtime API

OpenAI launched a public beta of the Realtime API on Oct. 1, 2024 for all paid developers, using a persistent WebSocket to stream low-latency speech-to-speech interactions with GPT-4o. It supports function calling and interruption handling, priced at $5/1M text input tokens and $100/1M audio input tokens; the post also says audio I/O for Chat Completions would arrive in the following weeks.

Why it matters: Removes the speech-to-text and text-to-speech hops that made voice agents slow.

Introducing Structured Outputs in the API

OpenAI released Structured Outputs on Aug 6, 2024, making model outputs conform to developer-supplied JSON Schemas; `gpt-4o-2024-08-06` scored 100% on complex schema-following evals versus under 40% for `gpt-4-0613`. The feature is enabled with `strict: true` in function calling and works on tool-supporting models including `gpt-4-0613`, `gpt-3.5-turbo-0613`, and later. The key shift is constrained decoding plus schema training, not just valid JSON from JSON mode.

Why it matters: Structured Outputs makes models follow a developer's JSON Schema exactly, and the accuracy gap between new and old models shows why schema adherence is a model capability, not a prompt trick.

Memory and new controls for ChatGPT

OpenAI says ChatGPT is getting memory and new controls, with 2 changes disclosed in the title. The body is empty, so default state, opt-out scope, and user-tier availability are not disclosed. The key issue is control granularity; the title alone is not enough to judge product impact.

Why it matters: OpenAI gave ChatGPT memory across chats, so it keeps user preferences and past details, with controls to turn memory off, tell it to forget, and use temporary chats.
