CHATGPT IS KILLING ITS TWO OLD VOICE MODES ON DECEMBER 11

OpenAI will retire ChatGPT's Advanced and Standard Voice modes on December 11, 2026, moving everyone left on them to GPT-Live, the full-duplex voice model introduced in July. Voice use in ChatGPT has nearly doubled since GPT-Live arrived, and OpenAI says almost all voice users are already on it.

Live video and screen sharing will keep running on Advanced Voice until GPT-Live supports them, and custom GPT voice chats stay on Advanced Voice until the cutoff. Users pushed back — a year ago a similar retirement was reversed after complaints kept Standard Voice alive.
