OpenAI removed DALL-E 2 and DALL-E 3 model snapshots from its API on May 12, 2026, directing developers to migrate to gpt-image-2, gpt-image-1, or gpt-image-1-mini. The Realtime API Beta was also removed on the same date, with users directed to migrate to the released Realtime API. These are hard deprecations, not soft warnings, meaning existing integrations using the old endpoints will break.
OpenAI has launched the Realtime API, enabling developers to build low-latency speech-to-speech experiences directly into their applications. The API provides native audio input and output without requiring separate transcription and text-to-speech steps. This represents a significant infrastructure offering for voice-enabled AI applications, moving beyond text-based API paradigms.
OpenAI has announced the full release of the o1 model alongside a set of developer-facing updates including Realtime API improvements and a new fine-tuning method. The announcement targets developers building on the OpenAI platform. Specific capability details and pricing were not elaborated in the source body.
OpenAI is releasing a new speech-to-speech model called gpt-realtime alongside expanded Realtime API capabilities. New features include MCP server support, image input, and SIP phone calling support. These updates extend the Realtime API's utility for voice-driven and multimodal agent applications.
