OpenAI cuts hallucinations 68% + courtroom chaos

OpenAI's new GPT-Live system replaces turn-based voice AI with a full-duplex architecture that can listen and speak simultaneously, eliminating interruptions while asynchronously consulting frontier models like GPT-5.5 for deeper reasoning. The re-engineered system uses protocol-level optimizations (WARP) and stateful streaming inference to deliver sub-second conversational responsiveness at scale.

OpenAI launches GPT-5.6 Sol with 68% fewer factual errors and introduces a response depth slider for paid users, while Free users get unlimited chats with GPT-5.6 Luna and access to deeper reasoning via a new Think button.
