OpenAI to Retire ChatGPT Advanced and Standard Voice

OpenAI has announced plans to discontinue ChatGPT Advanced and Standard voice features on December 11, 2026, shifting its focus entirely to GPT-Live.

OpenAI announced that it will retire ChatGPT Advanced and Standard voice options on December 11, 2026. The company is streamlining its offerings to focus on unifying the chatbot voice experience through GPT-Live, which has seen usage nearly double since its release. While Advanced and Standard voice are being phased out, Advanced voice will temporarily continue to power live video and screen sharing until those capabilities are added to GPT-Live. OpenAI has not yet shared a specific timeline for when live video and screen sharing will become available on GPT-Live.
