OpenAI, a Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence startup, announced on X on Tuesday that it is beginning to roll out an enhanced speech mode to a select set of ChatGPT Plus users. The company announced that it required more time to meet its launch requirement, therefore it postponed the release of the realistic voice conversation experience from late June to July.

The new audio features will enable users to interrupt ChatGPT while it is speaking and speak with it in real-time, both of which are essential components of realistic interactions that have proven difficult for AI assistants to achieve.

In June, OpenAI announced that it was striving to enhance the user experience and set up its infrastructure for future model scalability, all the while enhancing the model's capacity to identify and reject specific content.
