What changed
OpenAI's ChatGPT release notes for November 10, 2026 say Advanced and Standard voice will leave ChatGPT Voice on December 11, 2026.
OpenAI says it introduced GPT-Live in July as the voice model that combines conversation with frontier intelligence. Since then, voice usage has nearly doubled, and virtually all people using voice in ChatGPT now use GPT-Live. The retirement is how OpenAI says it will simplify voice and keep improving GPT-Live, including depth and detail, continuity across conversations, and personalization.
Live video and screen sharing stay on Advanced voice until GPT-Live has that capability. The release note points to a Help Center article for what to expect. This entry does not add steps beyond the release note.
Why it matters
If a workflow, a demo, or an internal guide still tells people to pick Advanced or Standard voice, that control goes away on December 11. GPT-Live is the voice that remains for conversation.
Anything that depends on live video or screen sharing is explicitly not part of this cutover. OpenAI says those stay on Advanced voice until GPT-Live supports them. Do not plan a December 11 migration for screen sharing on the assumption that GPT-Live already covers it.
