ECHO: A Matched-Contrast Benchmark for Context-Sensitive Turn-Taking in Full-Duplex Dialogue

ECHO benchmark pairs identical-overlap Chinese dialogue examples with contrasting contexts, revealing most full-duplex systems bias toward yielding the floor.

ECHO is a paired diagnostic benchmark for Chinese full-duplex turn-taking that matches examples with identical overlap transcripts but contrasting preceding multi-turn contexts, one requiring Yield and the other Keep. It also includes off-talk examples for diagnosing unnecessary yielding and introduces pair accuracy, which grants no credit to constant-action policies. Experiments across multiple full-duplex systems show most exhibit a pronounced Yield bias, performing substantially better on interruptions than backchannels. The benchmark and metadata will be publicly released.

MP-Bench: Evaluating Voice Agents as a Multiparty Conversation Participant

MP-Bench is the first benchmark for voice agents in multiparty conversations, finding real-time agents near chance on turn-taking.

MP-Bench is the first benchmark designed to objectively evaluate conversational speech systems as active participants in multi-party conversations. It assesses agents on turn-taking awareness and response appropriateness, with comprehension-based question-answering as a complementary evaluation. Benchmarking 12 voice agents shows real-time agents score at or below 22% on multiparty comprehension and remain near chance on multiparty turn-taking.

OpenAI's GPT-Live-1 API lets developers build apps that talk and listen at the same time

OpenAI's GPT-Live-1 API enables full-duplex speech apps, outperforming GPT-Realtime-2.1 with 0.8s turn-taking latency at $0.05 per minute.

OpenAI released GPT-Live-1 as a developer API for full-duplex speech, allowing applications to listen and talk simultaneously; it already powers ChatGPT voice. Benchmarks show 80.1% on full-duplex interactivity versus 45.4% for GPT-Realtime-2.1, turn-taking latency of 0.8 seconds versus 1.4 seconds, tool-calling accuracy of 87% versus 60%, and a 32% pass rate on a banking voice-support benchmark versus 12.4%. The model costs $0.05 per minute, ships twelve new voices, provides ASR transcripts and response text, and is already in production at Yelp for phone-based reservations.

StepAudio 3 Realtime Technical Report

StepAudio 3 Realtime debuts an audio-language model with Think-While-Speaking reasoning, delivering full-duplex voice dialogue with top benchmark results.

StepAudio 3 Realtime is an audio-language foundation model built around a continuous listen-converse-think-act loop for real-time spoken interaction. Think-While-Speaking runs private reasoning in parallel with speech, reaching a 73.0 macro average on StepAudioChat in reasoning mode. The model reports 90.6 on MMSU, 98.9 overall on the Artificial Analysis Full-Duplex Bench, and 56.0% macro task success on tau-Voice. An integrated Voice Agent handles asynchronous tool execution without disrupting dialogue flow.

Build more natural voice experiences with GPT‑Live‑1 in the API

OpenAI releases GPT-Live-1 in the API, a full-duplex voice model that handles interruptions natively and delegates reasoning to backend models.

OpenAI launched GPT-Live-1 in the API, a single-model full-duplex voice system that listens and speaks simultaneously, replacing chained STT-LLM-TTS architectures. It improves Full Duplex Bench performance by 30 percentage points over GPT-Realtime-2.1 and ranks #1 on Tau3 when paired with GPT-6 Astra at medium reasoning effort. Early partner Speak reported nearly 80% fewer interruptions in language tutoring. The API release costs $0.05 per minute for the front-end voice layer and supports telephony, native ASR transcripts, keyword biasing, and expanded voice and language options.
