GPT-Realtime mini

GPT-Realtime mini is a cost-efficient realtime model that responds to audio and text inputs in realtime, built for voice features that need low latency and workable unit economics at high volume.

About GPT-Realtime mini

GPT-Realtime mini launched on October 10, 2025 at OpenAI's DevDay as the cost-efficient entry in the gpt-realtime family. GPT-Realtime mini responds to audio and text inputs in realtime, covering interactive voice use cases that don't need a flagship model on every turn.

The economics are the point. Voice features strain budgets when every session invokes a top-tier model. GPT-Realtime mini exists so in-app assistants, kiosks, and voice helpers can run continuously without the flagship rate, while keeping the low-latency conversational feel that makes voice interfaces usable.

Through AI Gateway, GPT-Realtime mini connects over WebSocket using the AI SDK's realtime hook. Your server mints a short-lived token, the browser handles microphone capture and playback through the hook, and AI Gateway applies the same observability and spend controls as your other models.
