tts-1 given 62 days
OpenAI sets retirement for January 6, 2027
The voice of a thousand demo apps. Alloy, Echo, Fable, Onyx, Nova and Shimmer will be looking for work.
tts-1, an OpenAI model that spoke and listened for a living, has been given a date: January 6, 2027. That is 62 days from this edition. It is 2 years and 11 months old. Until then it will keep answering, as if nothing happened.
It is survived by gpt-realtime-2.1-mini, who is already doing the job.
