GPT-Realtime-2 is marketed as a speech model with inference capabilities equivalent to the GPT-5 series. It boasts processing speeds sufficient for real-time conversation while enabling natural and complex dialogue. In benchmark tests, it has achieved higher scores than GPT-Realtime-1.5.



The following are

the benchmark results for conversation comprehension performance conducted by the third-party organization Artificial Analysis. GPT-Realtime-2 is inferior to Step-Audio R1.1 and Grok Voice Think Fast 1.0, but it outperforms Gemini 3.1 Fash Live Preview.



GPT-Realtime-Translate is an AI that can translate spoken language into another language in real time. In the following post by OpenAI researcher Jason Liu , you can see it translating English into Japanese in real time.




GPT-Realtime-Whisper is an AI that can transcribe speech simultaneously, and is said to be useful for creating real-time subtitles and meeting minutes.

'GPT-Realtime-2', 'GPT-Realtime-Translate', and 'GPT-Realtime-Whisper' are available via API. The API fee for GPT-Realtime-2 is $32 (approximately 5,020 yen) per 1 million input tokens and $64 (approximately 10,040 yen) per 1 million output tokens. The API fee for GPT-Realtime-Translate is $0.034 (approximately 5.33 yen) per minute, and the API fee for GPT-Realtime-Whisper is $0.017 (approximately 2.67 yen) per minute.

The specifications for the three APIs are summarized at the following link.
