OpenAI WebRTC Audio Session, now with document context

openaiwebrtcaudiogpt-realtime-2

Simon Willison revisited his OpenAI WebRTC audio playground, originally built in December 2024 to test the WebRTC API for realtime audio models. Last month, OpenAI introduced GPT-Realtime-2, promoted as "our first voice model with GPT‑5‑class reasoning" and a knowledge cut-off of September 30, 2024. Willison noted that this model has not yet appeared in the ChatGPT iPhone app, prompting him to update his browser-based tool. The updated playground allows users to select the new model and paste in document context for audio conversations about that information. The post is a link blog entry published on June 12, 2026, and is tagged with audio, tools, AI, OpenAI, generative AI, LLMs, multi-modal output, and WebRTC.

// why it matters

Developers can now experiment with GPT-Realtime-2's voice reasoning in a browser with custom document context.
