Key point

New features include a Decisions API for efficient routing, zero-cost voice design, and GPT-Live-1.1 for faster real-time responses.

Details

  • Prompt caching duration extended from 30 minutes to 12 hours, reducing input costs for slow loops despite a 2.5x upfront write cost.
  • Decisions API introduced to provide fast, bounded choices without generating long text blocks, cutting token spend for simple labels or next steps.
  • OpenAI models and Codex are now deployable through Google Cloud Marketplace.
  • GPT-Live-1.1 and Quip rolled out for voice, adding faster responses and better language support.
  • Zero-cost voice design allows building custom voices from text prompts, with charges only for standard audio rates when the model speaks.
  • GPT-6 Pro now supports parallel agents working on separate task pieces simultaneously.
  • Admins can block API projects from using high-cost service tiers via hard project limits.
