OpenAI Realtime |
You can use OpenAI's newest speech-to-speech model with your Vapi assistants. |
openai-realtime |
OpenAI’s Realtime API enables developers to use a native speech-to-speech model. Unlike other Vapi configurations which orchestrate a transcriber, model and voice API to simulate speech-to-speech, OpenAI’s Realtime API natively processes audio in and audio out.
To start using it with your Vapi assistants, select gpt-4o-realtime-preview-2024-12-17
as your model.
- Please note that only OpenAI voices may be selected while using this model. The voice selection will not act as a TTS (text-to-speech) model, but rather as the voice used within the speech-to-speech model.
- Also note that we don’t currently support Knowledge Bases with the Realtime API.
- Lastly, note that our Realtime integration still retains the rest of Vapi's orchestration layer such as Endpointing and Interruption models to enable a reliable conversational flow.
