OpenAI has unveiled three new audio models for developers aimed at making voice agents faster, smarter, and more interactive in real time. GPT-Realtime-2 tackles complex requests even when users interrupt. GPT-Realtime-Translate delivers live multilingual translation, while GPT-Realtime-Whisper provides instant speech to text for captions and notes. Early adopters include companies like Zillow and Priceline.
AI translation firm DeepL says it will cut about 250 employees, roughly a quarter of its workforce, attributing the move to rapid AI improvements that are making some roles redundant. The CEO frames it as a structural job-market shift as automation boosts productivity and simplifies tasks, echoing layoffs seen across other industries moving toward AI-driven work.
