OpenAI: GPT Audio

The gpt-audio model is OpenAI's first generally available audio model. The new snapshot features an upgraded decoder for more natural sounding voices and maintains better voice consistency. Audio is priced at $32 per million input tokens and $64 per million output tokens.

Audio

Why it stands out

128K-token context window handles longer documents and multi-turn conversations without truncation.
Multimodal input (audio) extends it beyond text-only workflows.

What to watch

No tool-use capability is currently tracked, which limits its fit for agentic or function-calling patterns.
No benchmark score currently tracked — evaluate using task-specific testing alongside pricing and capability data.
