OpenAI splits transcription into file and low-latency live models
OpenAI released GPT-Transcribe for completed files and final transcripts of committed Realtime turns, plus GPT-Live-Transcribe for continuous low-latency streaming. Both accept free-form context, keyword hints and multiple expected languages, with different outputs and latency contracts.
Why it matters: Teams can choose accuracy-oriented final transcription separately from live partials instead of treating one speech model as a drop-in path. The split makes endpoint, transport, reconciliation, latency and output-format compatibility explicit migration…
