OpenAI has launched a public beta of its Realtime API, designed to enable low-latency speech interactions. The API is being integrated into various applications, such as Agora's new Conversational AI SDK, which facilitates real-time, voice-driven AI experiences. Additionally, platforms like Retell and YSU ChatData have incorporated OpenAI's Realtime API to enhance their interactive capabilities. Alternatives to OpenAI's solution are also emerging, with companies like CerebriumAI offering a more cost-effective option, boasting 3x-5x lower cost per minute. This development marks a significant advancement in voice technology and AI integration.
