Release Notes

This update adds support for the latest reasoning Voice Mode models, along with other bug fixes and improvements.

Next-Gen Assistants

PingPong will now selectively filter assistant message annotations to ensure messages are accepted by the Responses API. When annotations of multiple types are included in the output message, PingPong will selectively send a single type of annotations as input in the following priority order: Code Interpreter files from unexpired containers, File Search results, URL citations, File Paths. Code Interpreter files from expired containers will never be included in the input object, similar to Code Interpreter tool calls from expired containers.

Fixed: User follow-up messages to assistant responses that contain both File Search and Web Search annotations may fail to send.
Fixed: Code Interpreter file annotations may save the incorrect OpenAI file ID in the annotation object, which may be later rejected by the API.

Introducing support for GPT Realtime 2 in Voice Mode. GPT Realtime 2 supports speech-to-speech interactions with configurable reasoning effort and stronger instruction following.
Configure how long the model thinks before responding under Advanced Options.

Voice Mode now supports safer interruption handling when users speak over an assistant response.
Voice Mode recordings wait for browser audio playback to finish before saving the final recording.
Interrupted Voice Mode responses save only the assistant audio that was actually generated and played.
Added additional checks to prevent users from inadvertently restarting an existing session after they have completed it, which may overwrite previous recordings.
Realtime model sessions include PingPong’s safety identifier where available.
Reorganized assistant Advanced Options so Voice Mode recording, reasoning, temperature, verbosity, and file controls to appear in a more consistent order.
