GPT-Realtime-2.1 Mini

GPT-Realtime-2.1 Mini is a distilled voice-reasoning model for lower-cost interactive audio. It supports connections over WebRTC, WebSocket and SIP.

A smaller voice model retains a large session window

The published window is 128,000 tokens with up to 32,000 output tokens. The model supports tools and prompt caching. Its audio rates are $10 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens; text is billed at different rates.GPT-Realtime-2.1 Mini official model documentation

Use a clearly bounded voice task

Practical guidance. For appointment requests, define the details the assistant must collect and the point at which a person must confirm them. Compare task completion, correction handling and turn latency. Do not judge a voice model only by the naturalness of its first reply.
