"Why it matters: Ultimately, these expanded capabilities should enable voice agents to access more tools and have more context to assist users. AI tools are only as helpful as the information they give, so streamlining the process of connecting AI models to data sources is a big win for developers and users alike. Most importantly, the MCP open-standard ensures that the connections are made, prioritizing user data and privacy."
"What: OpenAI touted its new gpt-realtime model as the company's "most advanced, production-ready voice model." Upgrades include improvements in intelligence, instruction following, and function calling, according to the release. Why it matters: A key tenet of helpful voice assistance and interactions is models that sound natural and have the ability to actually help with tasks. If the new model works as claimed, it will enable a"
OpenAI updated the generally available Realtime API with support for remote MCP servers, image inputs, and phone calling via SIP. The updates allow voice agents to access more tools and contextual inputs, streamlining connections between models and external data sources while prioritizing user data and privacy through the MCP open-standard. OpenAI also released gpt-realtime, a production-ready speech-to-speech model with improved intelligence, instruction following, and function calling. These enhancements aim to produce more natural-sounding voice interactions and enable agents to perform tasks with greater reliability for developers and enterprises, reducing developer workload for multimodal agent development.
