Realtime

Domain Types

Audio Transcription

  • class AudioTranscription

    • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

      Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

      • :minimal

      • :low

      • :medium

      • :high

      • :xhigh

    • language: String

      The language of the input audio. Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 (e.g. en) format will improve accuracy and latency.

    • model: String | :"whisper-1" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15" | 3 more

      The model to use for transcription. Current options are whisper-1, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15, gpt-4o-transcribe, gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize, and gpt-realtime-whisper. Use gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize when you need diarization with speaker labels.

Input Audio Buffer Append Event

  • class InputAudioBufferAppendEvent

    Send this event to append audio bytes to the input audio buffer. The audio buffer is temporary storage you can write to and later commit. A "commit" will create a new user message item in the conversation history from the buffer content and clear the buffer. Input audio transcription (if enabled) will be generated when the buffer is committed.

    If VAD is enabled the audio buffer is used to detect speech and the server will decide when to commit. When Server VAD is disabled, you must commit the audio buffer manually. Input audio noise reduction operates on writes to the audio buffer.

    The client may choose how much audio to place in each event up to a maximum of 15 MiB, for example streaming smaller chunks from the client may allow the VAD to be more responsive. Unlike most other client events, the server will not send a confirmation response to this event.

When in Server VAD mode, the client does not need to send this event, the server will commit the audio buffer automatically.

    Committing the input audio buffer will trigger input audio transcription (if enabled in session configuration), but it will not create a response from the model. The server will respond with an input_audio_buffer.committed event.

    • type: :"input_audio_buffer.commit"

      The event type, must be input_audio_buffer.commit.

      • :"input_audio_buffer.commit"

This can happen any time audio is added to the buffer (unless speech is already detected). The client may want to use this event to interrupt audio playback or provide visual feedback to the user.

    The client should expect to receive a input_audio_buffer.speech_stopped event when speech stops. The item_id property is the ID of the user message item that will be created when speech stops and will also be included in the input_audio_buffer.speech_stopped event (unless the client manually commits the audio buffer during VAD activation).

    • audio_start_ms: Integer

      Milliseconds from the start of all audio written to the buffer during the session when speech was first detected. This will correspond to the beginning of audio sent to the model, and thus includes the prefix_padding_ms configured in the Session.

      The unique ID of the server event.

    • item_id: String

      The ID of the user message item that will be created when speech stops.

      • :"input_audio_buffer.speech_stopped"

Input Audio Buffer Timeout Triggered

  • class InputAudioBufferTimeoutTriggered

    Returned when the Server VAD timeout is triggered for the input audio buffer. This is configured with idle_timeout_ms in the turn_detection settings of the session, and it indicates that there hasn't been any speech detected for the configured duration.

    The audio_start_ms and audio_end_ms fields indicate the segment of audio after the last model response up to the triggering time, as an offset from the beginning of audio written to the input audio buffer. This means it demarcates the segment of audio that was silent and the difference between the start and end values will roughly match the configured timeout.

    The empty audio will be committed to the conversation as an input_audio item (there will be a input_audio_buffer.committed event) and a model response will be generated. There may be speech that didn't trigger VAD but is still detected by the model, so the model may respond with something relevant to the conversation or a prompt to continue speaking.

    • audio_end_ms: Integer

      Millisecond offset of audio written to the input audio buffer at the time the timeout was triggered.

    • audio_start_ms: Integer

      • transcription: AudioTranscription

        Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

        • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

          Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

          • :minimal

          • :low

          • :medium

          • :high

          • :xhigh

        • language: String

          The language of the input audio. Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 (e.g. en) format will improve accuracy and latency.

            • :"gpt-realtime-whisper"

        • prompt: String

          An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

      • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

        Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

        Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

        Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

        For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

        • class ServerVad

          Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

            If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

          • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

            Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

            The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

            An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

          • interrupt_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

            If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

          • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

            Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

          • silence_duration_ms: Integer

            Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

          • threshold: Float

            Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

        • class SemanticVad

          Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

          • type: :semantic_vad

        The format of the output audio.

      • speed: Float

        The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

        This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

      • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

        The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

      • type: NoiseReductionType

        Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

        • :near_field

        • :far_field

    • transcription: AudioTranscription

      Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

      • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

        Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

      • prompt: String

        An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

    • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

      Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

      Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

      Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

      For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

      • previous_item_id: String

        The ID of the preceding item after which the new item will be inserted. If not set, the new item will be appended to the end of the conversation.

        If set to root, the new item will be added to the beginning of the conversation.

        If set to an existing ID, it allows an item to be inserted mid-conversation. If the ID cannot be found, an error will be returned and the item will not be added.

    • class ConversationItemDeleteEvent

      Send this event when you want to remove any item from the conversation history. The server will respond with a conversation.item.deleted event, unless the item does not exist in the conversation history, in which case the server will respond with an error.

      • item_id: String

        The ID of the item to delete.

      • type: :"conversation.item.delete"

        The event type, must be conversation.item.delete.

        • :"conversation.item.delete"
      • event_id: String

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

    • class ConversationItemRetrieveEvent

      Send this event when you want to retrieve the server's representation of a specific item in the conversation history. This is useful, for example, to inspect user audio after noise cancellation and VAD. The server will respond with a conversation.item.retrieved event, unless the item does not exist in the conversation history, in which case the server will respond with an error.

      • item_id: String

        The ID of the item to retrieve.

      • type: :"conversation.item.retrieve"

        The event type, must be conversation.item.retrieve.

      • event_id: String

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

    • class ConversationItemTruncateEvent

      Send this event to truncate a previous assistant message’s audio. The server will produce audio faster than realtime, so this event is useful when the user interrupts to truncate audio that has already been sent to the client but not yet played. This will synchronize the server's understanding of the audio with the client's playback.

      Truncating audio will delete the server-side text transcript to ensure there is not text in the context that hasn't been heard by the user.

      If successful, the server will respond with a conversation.item.truncated event.

      • audio_end_ms: Integer

        Inclusive duration up to which audio is truncated, in milliseconds. If the audio_end_ms is greater than the actual audio duration, the server will respond with an error.

      • content_index: Integer

        The index of the content part to truncate. Set this to 0.

      • item_id: String

        The ID of the assistant message item to truncate. Only assistant message items can be truncated.

      • type: :"conversation.item.truncate"

        The event type, must be conversation.item.truncate.

        • :"conversation.item.truncate"
      • event_id: String

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

    • class InputAudioBufferAppendEvent

      Send this event to append audio bytes to the input audio buffer. The audio buffer is temporary storage you can write to and later commit. A "commit" will create a new user message item in the conversation history from the buffer content and clear the buffer. Input audio transcription (if enabled) will be generated when the buffer is committed.

      If VAD is enabled the audio buffer is used to detect speech and the server will decide when to commit. When Server VAD is disabled, you must commit the audio buffer manually. Input audio noise reduction operates on writes to the audio buffer.

      The client may choose how much audio to place in each event up to a maximum of 15 MiB, for example streaming smaller chunks from the client may allow the VAD to be more responsive. Unlike most other client events, the server will not send a confirmation response to this event.

      • audio: String

        Base64-encoded audio bytes. This must be in the format specified by the input_audio_format field in the session configuration.

      • type: :"input_audio_buffer.append"

        The event type, must be input_audio_buffer.append.

        • :"input_audio_buffer.append"
      • event_id: String

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

    • class InputAudioBufferClearEvent

      Send this event to clear the audio bytes in the buffer. The server will respond with an input_audio_buffer.cleared event.

      • type: :"input_audio_buffer.clear"

        The event type, must be input_audio_buffer.clear.

        • :"input_audio_buffer.clear"
      • event_id: String

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

    • class OutputAudioBufferClearEvent

      WebRTC/SIP Only: Emit to cut off the current audio response. This will trigger the server to stop generating audio and emit a output_audio_buffer.cleared event. This event should be preceded by a response.cancel client event to stop the generation of the current response. Learn more.

      • type: :"output_audio_buffer.clear"

        The event type, must be output_audio_buffer.clear.

        • :"output_audio_buffer.clear"
      • event_id: String

        The unique ID of the client event used for error handling.

    • class InputAudioBufferCommitEvent

      Send this event to commit the user input audio buffer, which will create a new user message item in the conversation. This event will produce an error if the input audio buffer is empty. When in Server VAD mode, the client does not need to send this event, the server will commit the audio buffer automatically.

      Committing the input audio buffer will trigger input audio transcription (if enabled in session configuration), but it will not create a response from the model. The server will respond with an input_audio_buffer.committed event.

      • type: :"input_audio_buffer.commit"

        The event type, must be input_audio_buffer.commit.

        • :"input_audio_buffer.commit"
      • event_id: String

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

    • class ResponseCancelEvent

      Send this event to cancel an in-progress response. The server will respond with a response.done event with a status of response.status=cancelled. If there is no response to cancel, the server will respond with an error. It's safe to call response.cancel even if no response is in progress, an error will be returned the session will remain unaffected.

      • type: :"response.cancel"

        The event type, must be response.cancel.

        • :"response.cancel"
      • event_id: String

        Optional client-generated ID used to identify this event.

      • response_id: String

        A specific response ID to cancel - if not provided, will cancel an in-progress response in the default conversation.

    • class ResponseCreateEvent

      This event instructs the server to create a Response, which means triggering model inference. When in Server VAD mode, the server will create Responses automatically.

      A Response will include at least one Item, and may have two, in which case the second will be a function call. These Items will be appended to the conversation history by default.

      The server will respond with a response.created event, events for Items and content created, and finally a response.done event to indicate the Response is complete.

      The response.create event includes inference configuration like instructions and tools. If these are set, they will override the Session's configuration for this Response only.

      Responses can be created out-of-band of the default Conversation, meaning that they can have arbitrary input, and it's possible to disable writing the output to the Conversation. Only one Response can write to the default Conversation at a time, but otherwise multiple Responses can be created in parallel. The metadata field is a good way to disambiguate multiple simultaneous Responses.

      Clients can set conversation to none to create a Response that does not write to the default Conversation. Arbitrary input can be provided with the input field, which is an array accepting raw Items and references to existing Items.

      • type: :"response.create"

        The event type, must be response.create.

        • :"response.create"
      • event_id: String

            • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

              The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

        • conversation: String | :auto | :none

          Controls which conversation the response is added to. Currently supports auto and none, with auto as the default value. The auto value means that the contents of the response will be added to the default conversation. Set this to none to create an out-of-band response which will not add items to default conversation.

          • String = String

          • Conversation = :auto | :none

            Controls which conversation the response is added to. Currently supports auto and none, with auto as the default value.

            • :none

        • input: Array[ConversationItem]

          Input items to include in the prompt for the model. Using this field creates a new context for this Response instead of using the default conversation. An empty array [] will clear the context for this Response. Note that this can include references to items that previously appeared in the session using their id.

          • class RealtimeConversationItemSystemMessage

            A system message in a Realtime conversation can be used to provide additional context or instructions to the model. This is similar but distinct from the instruction prompt provided at the start of a conversation, as system messages can be added at any point in the conversation. For major changes to the conversation's behavior, use instructions, but for smaller updates (e.g. "the user is now asking about a different topic"), use system messages.

        • instructions: String

          The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior. Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the start of the session.

        • max_output_tokens: Integer | :inf

              • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

                Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

                • type: NoiseReductionType

                  Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

                  • :far_field

              • transcription: AudioTranscription

                Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

                • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

                  Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

                • prompt: String

                  An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

              • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

                Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

                Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

                Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

                For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

                • class ServerVad

                  Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                  • type: :server_vad

                    Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                    • :server_vad
                  • create_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                    Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                    The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                    An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                  • interrupt_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                  • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                  • threshold: Float

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

                • class SemanticVad

                  Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                  • type: :semantic_vad

                    Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

                  • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

                    Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                    Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

            • output: RealtimeAudioConfigOutput

              • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

                The format of the output audio.

              • speed: Float

                The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

                This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

              • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

                The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

                The name of the workflow to attach to this trace. This is used to name the trace in the Traces Dashboard.

          • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

            When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

            Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

            Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

            Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

            • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

              The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

              • :auto

              • :disabled

            • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

              Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

              • retention_ratio: Float

                Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

              • type: :retention_ratio

                Use retention ratio truncation.

                • :retention_ratio
              • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

                Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

                • post_instructions: Integer

                  Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

        • class RealtimeTranscriptionSessionCreateRequest

          Realtime transcription session object configuration.

          • type: :transcription

            • :transcription
          • audio: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudio

            Configuration for input and output audio.

            • input: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInput

              • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

                The PCM audio format. Only a 24kHz sample rate is supported.

              • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

                Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

                • type: NoiseReductionType

                  Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

              • transcription: AudioTranscription

                Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

              • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

                Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

                Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

                Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

                For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

                • class ServerVad

                  Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                  • create_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                    Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                    The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                    An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                  • interrupt_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                  • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                  • threshold: Float

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

                • class SemanticVad

                  Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                  • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

                    Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                    • :low

For major changes to the conversation's behavior, use instructions, but for smaller updates (e.g. "the user is now asking about a different topic"), use system messages.

          • type: :realtime

            The type of session to create. Always realtime for the Realtime API.

            • :realtime
          • audio: RealtimeAudioConfig

            Configuration for input and output audio.

            • input: RealtimeAudioConfigInput

              • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

                The format of the input audio.

              • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

                Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

                • type: NoiseReductionType

                  Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

                  • :far_field

              • transcription: AudioTranscription

                Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

                • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

                  Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

                  • :minimal

                  • :low

                • language: String

                  The language of the input audio. Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 (e.g. en) format will improve accuracy and latency.

                • prompt: String

                  An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

              • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

                Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

                Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

                Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

                For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

                • class ServerVad

                  Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                  • type: :server_vad

                    Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                    • :server_vad
                  • create_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                    Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                    The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                    An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                  • interrupt_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                  • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                  • threshold: Float

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

                • class SemanticVad

                  Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                  • type: :semantic_vad

                    Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

                    • :semantic_vad
                  • create_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

                  • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

                    Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                    • :low

                    • :medium

                  • interrupt_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

            • output: RealtimeAudioConfigOutput

              • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

                The format of the output audio.

              • speed: Float

                The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

                This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

              • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

                The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

            • :"item.input_audio_transcription.logprobs"
          • instructions: String

            The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior.

            Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the start of the session.

            Realtime API can write session traces to the Traces Dashboard. Set to null to disable tracing. Once tracing is enabled for a session, the configuration cannot be modified.

            auto will create a trace for the session with default values for the workflow name, group id, and metadata.

            • RealtimeTracingConfig = :auto

              Enables tracing and sets default values for tracing configuration options. Always auto.

              • :auto
            • class TracingConfiguration

              Granular configuration for tracing.

              • workflow_name: String

                The name of the workflow to attach to this trace. This is used to name the trace in the Traces Dashboard.

          • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

            When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

            Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

            Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

            Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

            • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

              The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

              • :auto

              • :disabled

            • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

              Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

              • retention_ratio: Float

                Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

              • type: :retention_ratio

                Use retention ratio truncation.

                • :retention_ratio
              • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

                Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

                • post_instructions: Integer

                  Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

        • class RealtimeTranscriptionSessionCreateRequest

          Realtime transcription session object configuration.

          • type: :transcription

            The type of session to create. Always transcription for transcription sessions.

            • :transcription
          • audio: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudio

            Configuration for input and output audio.

            • input: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInput

              • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

                The PCM audio format. Only a 24kHz sample rate is supported.

              • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

                Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

                • type: NoiseReductionType

                  Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

              • transcription: AudioTranscription

                Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

              • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

                Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

                Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

                Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

                For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

                • class ServerVad

                  Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                  • type: :server_vad

                    Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                    • :server_vad
                  • create_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                    Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                    The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                    An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                  • interrupt_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                    If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                  • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                  • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                  • threshold: Float

                    Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

                • class SemanticVad

                  Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                  • type: :semantic_vad

                    Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

                    • :semantic_vad
                  • create_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

                  • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

                    Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                    • :low

                    • :medium

                    • :high

                    • :auto

                  • interrupt_response: bool

                    Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

        • :"output_audio_buffer.stopped"
    • class OutputAudioBufferCleared

      WebRTC/SIP Only: Emitted when the output audio buffer is cleared. This happens either in VAD mode when the user has interrupted (input_audio_buffer.speech_started), or when the client has emitted the output_audio_buffer.clear event to manually cut off the current audio response. Learn more.

    • class ConversationItemAdded

      Sent by the server when an Item is added to the default Conversation. This can happen in several cases:

      • When the client sends a conversation.item.create event.
      • When the input audio buffer is committed. In this case the item will be a user message containing the audio from the buffer.
      • When the model is generating a Response. In this case the conversation.item.added event will be sent when the model starts generating a specific Item, and thus it will not yet have any content (and status will be in_progress).

      The event will include the full content of the Item (except when model is generating a Response) except for audio data, which can be retrieved separately with a conversation.item.retrieve event if necessary.

      • event_id: String

      • item: ConversationItem

        A single item within a Realtime conversation.

      • type: :"conversation.item.added"

        The event type, must be conversation.item.added.

        • :"conversation.item.added"
      • previous_item_id: String

        The ID of the item that precedes this one, if any. This is used to maintain ordering when items are inserted.

    • class ConversationItemDone

      Returned when a conversation item is finalized.

      • previous_item_id: String

        The ID of the item that precedes this one, if any. This is used to maintain ordering when items are inserted.

    • class InputAudioBufferTimeoutTriggered

      Returned when the Server VAD timeout is triggered for the input audio buffer. This is configured with idle_timeout_ms in the turn_detection settings of the session, and it indicates that there hasn't been any speech detected for the configured duration.

      The audio_start_ms and audio_end_ms fields indicate the segment of audio after the last model response up to the triggering time, as an offset from the beginning of audio written to the input audio buffer. This means it demarcates the segment of audio that was silent and the difference between the start and end values will roughly match the configured timeout.

      The empty audio will be committed to the conversation as an input_audio item (there will be a input_audio_buffer.committed event) and a model response will be generated. There may be speech that didn't trigger VAD but is still detected by the model, so the model may respond with something relevant to the conversation or a prompt to continue speaking.

      • audio_end_ms: Integer

        Millisecond offset of audio written to the input audio buffer at the time the timeout was triggered.

      • audio_start_ms: Integer

    • turn_detection: ServerVad{ type, create_response, idle_timeout_ms, 4 more} | SemanticVad{ type, create_response, eagerness, interrupt_response}

      Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

      Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

      Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

      For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

      • class ServerVad

        Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

        • type: :server_vad

          Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

          • :server_vad
        • create_response: bool

          Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

          If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

        • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

          Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

          The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

          An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

        • interrupt_response: bool

          Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

          If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

        • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

          Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

        • silence_duration_ms: Integer

          Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

        • threshold: Float

          Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

      • class SemanticVad

        Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

        • type: :semantic_vad

          Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

          • :semantic_vad
        • create_response: bool

          Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

        • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

          Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

            An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

        • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

          Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

          Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

          Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

          For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

          • class ServerVad

            Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

            • type: :server_vad

              Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

              • :server_vad
            • create_response: bool

              Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

              If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

            • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

              Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

              The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

              An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

            • interrupt_response: bool

              Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

              If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

            • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

              Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

            • silence_duration_ms: Integer

              Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

            • threshold: Float

              Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

          • class SemanticVad

            Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

            • type: :semantic_vad

            • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

              Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

              • :low

              • :medium

        • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

          The format of the output audio.

        • speed: Float

          The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

          This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

        • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

          The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar.

    • instructions: String

      The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior.

      Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the start of the session.

    • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

      When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

      Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

      Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

      Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

      • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

        The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

        • :auto

        • :disabled

      • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

        Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

        • retention_ratio: Float

          Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

        • type: :retention_ratio

          Use retention ratio truncation.

          • :retention_ratio
        • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

          Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

          • post_instructions: Integer

            Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions.

      • transcription: AudioTranscription

        Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

        • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

          Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

            • :"gpt-realtime-whisper"

        • prompt: String

          An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

      • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

        Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

        Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

        Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

        For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

        • class ServerVad

          Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

          • type: :server_vad

            Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

            • :server_vad
          • create_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

            If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

          • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

            Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

            The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

            An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

          • interrupt_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

            If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

          • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

            Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

          • silence_duration_ms: Integer

            Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

          • threshold: Float

            Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

        • class SemanticVad

          Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

          • type: :semantic_vad

            Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

            • :semantic_vad
          • create_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

          • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

            Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

    • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

      Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

      Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

      Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

      For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

      • class ServerVad

        Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

        • create_response: bool

          Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

          If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

        • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

          Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

          The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

          An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

        • interrupt_response: bool

          Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

          If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

        • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

      Send this event to append audio bytes to the translation session input audio buffer.

      WebSocket translation sessions accept base64-encoded 24 kHz PCM16 mono little-endian raw audio bytes. Unsupported websocket audio formats return a validation error because lower-quality audio materially degrades translation quality.

      Translation consumes 200 ms engine frames. For best realtime behavior, append audio in 200 ms chunks. If a chunk is shorter, the server buffers it until it has enough audio for one frame. If a chunk is longer, the server splits it into 200 ms frames and enqueues them back-to-back.

Realtime Translation Input Audio Buffer Append Event

  • class RealtimeTranslationInputAudioBufferAppendEvent

    Send this event to append audio bytes to the translation session input audio buffer.

    WebSocket translation sessions accept base64-encoded 24 kHz PCM16 mono little-endian raw audio bytes. Unsupported websocket audio formats return a validation error because lower-quality audio materially degrades translation quality.

    Translation consumes 200 ms engine frames. For best realtime behavior, append audio in 200 ms chunks. If a chunk is shorter, the server buffers it until it has enough audio for one frame. If a chunk is longer, the server splits it into 200 ms frames and enqueues them back-to-back.

    Keep appending silence while the session is active. If a client stops sending audio and later resumes, model time treats the resumed audio as contiguous with the previous audio rather than as a real-world pause.

Realtime Truncation

  • RealtimeTruncation = :auto | :disabled | RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

    When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

    Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

    Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

    Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

    • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

      The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

      • retention_ratio: Float

        Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

      • type: :retention_ratio

        Use retention ratio truncation.

        • :retention_ratio
      • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

        • post_instructions: Integer

          Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

Response Create Event

  • class ResponseCreateEvent

    This event instructs the server to create a Response, which means triggering model inference. When in Server VAD mode, the server will create Responses automatically.

    A Response will include at least one Item, and may have two, in which case the second will be a function call. These Items will be appended to the conversation history by default.

    The server will respond with a response.created event, events for Items and content created, and finally a response.done event to indicate the Response is complete.

    The response.create event includes inference configuration like instructions and tools. If these are set, they will override the Session's configuration for this Response only.

    Responses can be created out-of-band of the default Conversation, meaning that they can have arbitrary input, and it's possible to disable writing the output to the Conversation. Only one Response can write to the default Conversation at a time, but otherwise multiple Responses can be created in parallel. The metadata field is a good way to disambiguate multiple simultaneous Responses.

    Clients can set conversation to none to create a Response that does not write to the default Conversation. Arbitrary input can be provided with the input field, which is an array accepting raw Items and references to existing Items.

                An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

            • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

              Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

              Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

              Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

              For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

              • class ServerVad

                Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                • type: :server_vad

                  Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                  • :server_vad
                • create_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                  Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                  The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                  An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                • interrupt_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                • threshold: Float

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

              • class SemanticVad

                Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                • type: :semantic_vad

                  Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

                • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

                  Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                  • :low

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

          • output: RealtimeAudioConfigOutput

            • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

              The format of the output audio.

            • speed: Float

              The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

              This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

            • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

              The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

          • :"item.input_audio_transcription.logprobs"
        • instructions: String

          The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior.

          Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the start of the session.

              The name of the workflow to attach to this trace. This is used to name the trace in the Traces Dashboard.

        • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

          When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

          Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

          Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

          Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

          • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

            The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

            • :auto

            • :disabled

          • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

            Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

            • retention_ratio: Float

              Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

            • type: :retention_ratio

              Use retention ratio truncation.

              • :retention_ratio
            • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

              Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

              • post_instructions: Integer

                Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

      • class RealtimeTranscriptionSessionCreateRequest

        Realtime transcription session object configuration.

        • type: :transcription

          The type of session to create. Always transcription for transcription sessions.

          • :transcription
        • audio: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudio

          Configuration for input and output audio.

          • input: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInput

            • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

              The PCM audio format. Only a 24kHz sample rate is supported.

            • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

              Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

              • type: NoiseReductionType

                Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

            • transcription: AudioTranscription

              Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

            • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

              Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

              Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

              Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

              For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

              • class ServerVad

                Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                • create_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                  Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                  The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                  An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                • interrupt_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                • threshold: Float

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

              • class SemanticVad

                Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                • type: :semantic_vad

  • class SessionUpdateEvent

    Send this event to update the session’s configuration. The client may send this event at any time to update any field except for voice and model. voice can be updated only if there have been no other audio outputs yet.

    When the server receives a session.update, it will respond with a session.updated event showing the full, effective configuration. Only the fields that are present in the session.update are updated. To clear a field like instructions, pass an empty string. To clear a field like tools, pass an empty array.

        • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

          When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

          Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

          Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

          Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

          • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

            The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

            • :auto

            • :disabled

          • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

            Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

            • retention_ratio: Float

              Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

            • type: :retention_ratio

              Use retention ratio truncation.

              • :retention_ratio
            • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

              Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

              • post_instructions: Integer

                Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

      • class RealtimeTranscriptionSessionCreateRequest

        Realtime transcription session object configuration.

        • type: :transcription

          The type of session to create. Always transcription for transcription sessions.

          • :transcription
        • audio: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudio

          Configuration for input and output audio.

          • input: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInput

            • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

              The PCM audio format. Only a 24kHz sample rate is supported.

            • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

              Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

              • type: NoiseReductionType

                Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

            • transcription: AudioTranscription

              Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

            • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

              Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

              Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

              Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

              For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

              • class ServerVad

                Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                • type: :server_vad

                  Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                  • :server_vad
                • create_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                  Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                  The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                  An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                • interrupt_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                • threshold: Float

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

              • class SemanticVad

                Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                • type: :semantic_vad

            • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

              Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

              • type: NoiseReductionType

                Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

                • :near_field

                • :far_field

            • transcription: AudioTranscription

              Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

              • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

                Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

                • :minimal

                • :low

                • :xhigh

              • language: String

                The language of the input audio. Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 (e.g. en) format will improve accuracy and latency.

              • model: String | :"whisper-1" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15" | 3 more

                  • :"gpt-realtime-whisper"

              • prompt: String

                An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

            • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

              Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

              Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

              Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

              For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

              • class ServerVad

                Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                • type: :server_vad

                  Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                  • :server_vad
                • create_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                  Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                  The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                  An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                • interrupt_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                • threshold: Float

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

              • class SemanticVad

                Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                • type: :semantic_vad

                  Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

                  • :semantic_vad
                • create_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

                • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

                  Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                  • :low

                  • :medium

                  • :high

                  • :auto

                • interrupt_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

          • output: RealtimeAudioConfigOutput

            • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

              The format of the output audio.

            • speed: Float

              The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

              This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

            • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

              The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

          • :"item.input_audio_transcription.logprobs"
        • instructions: String

          The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior.

          Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the start of the session.

        • max_output_tokens: Integer | :inf

        • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

          When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

          Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

          Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

          Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

          • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

            The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

            • :auto

            • :disabled

          • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

            Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

            • retention_ratio: Float

              Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

            • type: :retention_ratio

              Use retention ratio truncation.

              • :retention_ratio
            • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

              Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

              • post_instructions: Integer

                Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

      • class RealtimeTranscriptionSessionCreateRequest

        Realtime transcription session object configuration.

        • type: :transcription

          The type of session to create. Always transcription for transcription sessions.

          • :transcription
        • audio: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudio

          Configuration for input and output audio.

          • input: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInput

            • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

              The PCM audio format. Only a 24kHz sample rate is supported.

            • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

              Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

              • type: NoiseReductionType

                Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

            • transcription: AudioTranscription

              Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

            • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

              Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

              Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

              Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

              For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

              • class ServerVad

                Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                • type: :server_vad

                  Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                • create_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                  Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                  The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                  An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                • interrupt_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

                • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

                • threshold: Float

                  Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

              • class SemanticVad

                Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

                • type: :semantic_vad

                  Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                  • :low

        • threshold: Float

          Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

        • type: String

          Type of turn detection, only server_vad is currently supported.

    • type: :"transcription_session.updated"

      The event type, must be transcription_session.updated.

Client Secrets

Create client secret

realtime.client_secrets.create(**kwargs) -> ClientSecretCreateResponse

post /realtime/client_secrets

Create a Realtime client secret with an associated session configuration.

Client secrets are short-lived tokens that can be passed to a client app, such as a web frontend or mobile client, which grants access to the Realtime API without leaking your main API key. You can configure a custom TTL for each client secret.

You can also attach session configuration options to the client secret, which will be applied to any sessions created using that client secret, but these can also be overridden by the client connection.

Learn more about authentication with client secrets over WebRTC.

Returns the created client secret and the effective session object. The client secret is a string that looks like ek_1234.

Parameters

  • expires_after: ExpiresAfter{ anchor, seconds}

    Configuration for the client secret expiration. Expiration refers to the time after which a client secret will no longer be valid for creating sessions. The session itself may continue after that time once started. A secret can be used to create multiple sessions until it expires.

    • anchor: :created_at

      The anchor point for the client secret expiration, meaning that seconds will be added to the created_at time of the client secret to produce an expiration timestamp. Only created_at is currently supported.

      • :created_at
    • seconds: Integer

      The number of seconds from the anchor point to the expiration. Select a value between 10 and 7200 (2 hours). This default to 600 seconds (10 minutes) if not specified.

  • session: RealtimeSessionCreateRequest | RealtimeTranscriptionSessionCreateRequest

    Session configuration to use for the client secret. Choose either a realtime session or a transcription session.

    • class RealtimeSessionCreateRequest

      Realtime session object configuration.

      • type: :realtime

        The type of session to create. Always realtime for the Realtime API.

        • :realtime
      • audio: RealtimeAudioConfig

        Configuration for input and output audio.

        • input: RealtimeAudioConfigInput

          • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

            The format of the input audio.

            • class AudioPCM

              The PCM audio format. Only a 24kHz sample rate is supported.

              • rate: 24000

                The sample rate of the audio. Always 24000.

                • 24000
              • type: :"audio/pcm"

                The audio format. Always audio/pcm.

                • :"audio/pcm"
            • class AudioPCMU

              The G.711 μ-law format.

              • type: :"audio/pcmu"

                The audio format. Always audio/pcmu.

                • :"audio/pcmu"
            • class AudioPCMA

              • type: :"audio/pcma"

                The audio format. Always audio/pcma.

                • :"audio/pcma"
          • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

            Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

            • type: NoiseReductionType

              Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

              • :near_field

              • :far_field

          • transcription: AudioTranscription

            Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

            • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

              Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

              • :minimal

              • :low

              • :medium

              • :high

              • :xhigh

            • language: String

              The language of the input audio. Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 (e.g. en) format will improve accuracy and latency.

            • model: String | :"whisper-1" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15" | 3 more

              The model to use for transcription. Current options are whisper-1, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15, gpt-4o-transcribe, gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize, and gpt-realtime-whisper. Use gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize when you need diarization with speaker labels.

                • :"gpt-realtime-whisper"

            • prompt: String

              An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

          • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

            Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

            Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

            Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

            For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

            • class ServerVad

              Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

              • type: :server_vad

                Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

                • :server_vad
              • create_response: bool

                Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

              • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

              • interrupt_response: bool

                Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

              • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

              • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

              • threshold: Float

                Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

            • class SemanticVad

              Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

              • type: :semantic_vad

                Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

                • :semantic_vad
              • create_response: bool

                Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

              • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

                Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

                • :low

                • :medium

                • :high

                • :auto

              • interrupt_response: bool

                Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

        • output: RealtimeAudioConfigOutput

          • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

            The format of the output audio.

          • speed: Float

            The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

            This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

          • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

            The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

      • instructions: String

        The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior.

        Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the start of the session.

      • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

        When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

        Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

        Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

        Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

        • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

          The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

          • :auto

          • :disabled

        • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

          Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

          • retention_ratio: Float

            Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

          • type: :retention_ratio

            Use retention ratio truncation.

            • :retention_ratio
          • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

            Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

            • post_instructions: Integer

              Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

    • class RealtimeTranscriptionSessionCreateRequest

      Realtime transcription session object configuration.

      • type: :transcription

        The type of session to create. Always transcription for transcription sessions.

        • :transcription
      • audio: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudio

        Configuration for input and output audio.

          • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

            The PCM audio format. Only a 24kHz sample rate is supported.

          • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

            Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

            • type: NoiseReductionType

              Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

          • transcription: AudioTranscription

            Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

          • turn_detection: RealtimeTranscriptionSessionAudioInputTurnDetection

            Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

            Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

            Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

            For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

            • class ServerVad

              Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

                Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

                If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

              • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

              • interrupt_response: bool

                Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

              • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

                Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

              • silence_duration_ms: Integer

                Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

              • threshold: Float

                Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

            • class SemanticVad

              Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

        • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

          When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

          Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

          Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

          Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

          • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

            The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

          • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

            Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

            • retention_ratio: Float

              Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

            • type: :retention_ratio

              Use retention ratio truncation.

              • :retention_ratio

        • transcription: AudioTranscription

          • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

            Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

            • :minimal

            • :low

            • String = String

            • Model = :"whisper-1" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe" | :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15" | 3 more

              The model to use for transcription. Current options are whisper-1, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15, gpt-4o-transcribe, gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize, and gpt-realtime-whisper. Use gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize when you need diarization with speaker labels.

              • :"whisper-1"

              • :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe"

              • :"gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-12-15"

              • :"gpt-4o-transcribe"

              • :"gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize"

              • :"gpt-realtime-whisper"

          • prompt: String

            An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

        • turn_detection: ServerVad{ type, create_response, idle_timeout_ms, 4 more} | SemanticVad{ type, create_response, eagerness, interrupt_response}

          Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

          Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

          Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

          For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

          • class ServerVad

            Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

            • type: :server_vad

              Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

              • :server_vad
            • create_response: bool

              Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

              If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

            • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

              Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

              The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

              An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

            • interrupt_response: bool

              Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

              If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

            • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

              Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

            • silence_duration_ms: Integer

              Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

            • threshold: Float

              Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

          • class SemanticVad

            Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

            • type: :semantic_vad

              Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

              • :semantic_vad
            • create_response: bool

              Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

            • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

              Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

              • :low

              • :medium

              • :high

              • :auto

            • interrupt_response: bool

              Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

      • output: Output{ format_, speed, voice}

        • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

          The format of the output audio.

        • speed: Float

          The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

          This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

        • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more

          The voice the model uses to respond. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. Current voice options are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

      • :"item.input_audio_transcription.logprobs"
    • instructions: String

      The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior.

    • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

      When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

      Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

      Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

      Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

      • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

        The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

        • :auto

        • :disabled

      • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

        Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

        • retention_ratio: Float

          Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

        • type: :retention_ratio

          Use retention ratio truncation.

          • :retention_ratio
        • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

          Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

          • post_instructions: Integer

            Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

              Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

              Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

              Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

              For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

                • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

                  Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

                  The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

                  An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

                • interrupt_response: bool

                  Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

                  If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

        • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

          When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

          Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

          Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

          Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

          • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

            The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

          • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

            Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

            • retention_ratio: Float

              Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

            • type: :retention_ratio

              Use retention ratio truncation.

              • :retention_ratio

            • :"audio/pcma"
      • noise_reduction: NoiseReduction{ type}

        Configuration for input audio noise reduction. This can be set to null to turn off. Noise reduction filters audio added to the input audio buffer before it is sent to VAD and the model. Filtering the audio can improve VAD and turn detection accuracy (reducing false positives) and model performance by improving perception of the input audio.

        • type: NoiseReductionType

          Type of noise reduction. near_field is for close-talking microphones such as headphones, far_field is for far-field microphones such as laptop or conference room microphones.

          • :near_field

          • :far_field

      • transcription: AudioTranscription

        Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through the /audio/transcriptions endpoint and should be treated as guidance of input audio content rather than precisely what the model heard. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these offer additional guidance to the transcription service.

        • delay: :minimal | :low | :medium | 2 more

          Controls how long the model waits before emitting transcription text. Higher values can improve transcription accuracy at the cost of latency. Only supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

        • prompt: String

          An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. For whisper-1, the prompt is a list of keywords. For gpt-4o-transcribe models (excluding gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize), the prompt is a free text string, for example "expect words related to technology". Prompt is not supported with gpt-realtime-whisper in GA Realtime sessions.

      • turn_detection: RealtimeAudioInputTurnDetection

        Configuration for turn detection, ether Server VAD or Semantic VAD. This can be set to null to turn off, in which case the client must manually trigger model response.

        Server VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

        Semantic VAD is more advanced and uses a turn detection model (in conjunction with VAD) to semantically estimate whether the user has finished speaking, then dynamically sets a timeout based on this probability. For example, if user audio trails off with "uhhm", the model will score a low probability of turn end and wait longer for the user to continue speaking. This can be useful for more natural conversations, but may have a higher latency.

        For gpt-realtime-whisper transcription sessions, turn detection must be set to null; VAD is not supported.

        • class ServerVad

          Server-side voice activity detection (VAD) which flips on when user speech is detected and off after a period of silence.

          • type: :server_vad

            Type of turn detection, server_vad to turn on simple Server VAD.

            • :server_vad
          • create_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs. If interrupt_response is set to false this may fail to create a response if the model is already responding.

            If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

          • idle_timeout_ms: Integer

            Optional timeout after which a model response will be triggered automatically. This is useful for situations in which a long pause from the user is unexpected, such as a phone call. The model will effectively prompt the user to continue the conversation based on the current context.

            The timeout value will be applied after the last model response's audio has finished playing, i.e. it's set to the response.done time plus audio playback duration.

            An input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered event (plus events associated with the Response) will be emitted when the timeout is reached. Idle timeout is currently only supported for server_vad mode.

          • interrupt_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically interrupt (cancel) any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs. If true then the response will be cancelled, otherwise it will continue until complete.

            If both create_response and interrupt_response are set to false, the model will never respond automatically but VAD events will still be emitted.

          • prefix_padding_ms: Integer

            Used only for server_vad mode. Amount of audio to include before the VAD detected speech (in milliseconds). Defaults to 300ms.

          • silence_duration_ms: Integer

            Used only for server_vad mode. Duration of silence to detect speech stop (in milliseconds). Defaults to 500ms. With shorter values the model will respond more quickly, but may jump in on short pauses from the user.

          • threshold: Float

            Used only for server_vad mode. Activation threshold for VAD (0.0 to 1.0), this defaults to 0.5. A higher threshold will require louder audio to activate the model, and thus might perform better in noisy environments.

        • class SemanticVad

          Server-side semantic turn detection which uses a model to determine when the user has finished speaking.

          • type: :semantic_vad

            Type of turn detection, semantic_vad to turn on Semantic VAD.

            • :semantic_vad
          • create_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically generate a response when a VAD stop event occurs.

          • eagerness: :low | :medium | :high | :auto

            Used only for semantic_vad mode. The eagerness of the model to respond. low will wait longer for the user to continue speaking, high will respond more quickly. auto is the default and is equivalent to medium. low, medium, and high have max timeouts of 8s, 4s, and 2s respectively.

          • interrupt_response: bool

            Whether or not to automatically interrupt any ongoing response with output to the default conversation (i.e. conversation of auto) when a VAD start event occurs.

    • output: RealtimeAudioConfigOutput

      • format_: RealtimeAudioFormats

        The format of the output audio.

      • speed: Float

        The speed of the model's spoken response as a multiple of the original speed. 1.0 is the default speed. 0.25 is the minimum speed. 1.5 is the maximum speed. This value can only be changed in between model turns, not while a response is in progress.

        This parameter is a post-processing adjustment to the audio after it is generated, it's also possible to prompt the model to speak faster or slower.

      • voice: String | :alloy | :ash | :ballad | 7 more | ID{ id}

        The voice the model uses to respond. Supported built-in voices are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, sage, shimmer, verse, marin, and cedar. You may also provide a custom voice object with an id, for example { "id": "voice_1234" }. Voice cannot be changed during the session once the model has responded with audio at least once. We recommend marin and cedar for best quality.

    • :"item.input_audio_transcription.logprobs"
  • instructions: String

    The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format, (e.g. "be extremely succinct", "act friendly", "here are examples of good responses") and on audio behavior (e.g. "talk quickly", "inject emotion into your voice", "laugh frequently"). The instructions are not guaranteed to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the desired behavior.

    Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the start of the session.

  • max_output_tokens: Integer | :inf

  • truncation: RealtimeTruncation

    When the number of tokens in a conversation exceeds the model's input token limit, the conversation be truncated, meaning messages (starting from the oldest) will not be included in the model's context. A 32k context model with 4,096 max output tokens can only include 28,224 tokens in the context before truncation occurs.

    Clients can configure truncation behavior to truncate with a lower max token limit, which is an effective way to control token usage and cost.

    Truncation will reduce the number of cached tokens on the next turn (busting the cache), since messages are dropped from the beginning of the context. However, clients can also configure truncation to retain messages up to a fraction of the maximum context size, which will reduce the need for future truncations and thus improve the cache rate.

    Truncation can be disabled entirely, which means the server will never truncate but would instead return an error if the conversation exceeds the model's input token limit.

    • RealtimeTruncationStrategy = :auto | :disabled

      The truncation strategy to use for the session. auto is the default truncation strategy. disabled will disable truncation and emit errors when the conversation exceeds the input token limit.

      • :auto

      • :disabled

    • class RealtimeTruncationRetentionRatio

      Retain a fraction of the conversation tokens when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. This allows you to amortize truncations across multiple turns, which can help improve cached token usage.

      • retention_ratio: Float

        Fraction of post-instruction conversation tokens to retain (0.0 - 1.0) when the conversation exceeds the input token limit. Setting this to 0.8 means that messages will be dropped until 80% of the maximum allowed tokens are used. This helps reduce the frequency of truncations and improve cache rates.

      • type: :retention_ratio

        Use retention ratio truncation.

        • :retention_ratio
      • token_limits: TokenLimits{ post_instructions}

        Optional custom token limits for this truncation strategy. If not provided, the model's default token limits will be used.

        • post_instructions: Integer

          Maximum tokens allowed in the conversation after instructions (which including tool definitions). For example, setting this to 5,000 would mean that truncation would occur when the conversation exceeds 5,000 tokens after instructions. This cannot be higher than the model's context window size minus the maximum output tokens.

Example

require "openai"

openai = OpenAI::Client.new(api_key: "My API Key")

result = openai.realtime.calls.accept("call_id", type: :realtime)

puts(result)

Hang up call
