Perplexity has integrated OpenAI’s gpt-live-1 model into its voice mode for Pro and Max subscribers on the Mac app and the web. The model enables full-duplex conversations, simultaneous management of multiple sessions, and the initiation of tasks or projects without using a keyboard. The Pro subscription costs $17 per month, while the Max plan costs $167 per month. OpenAI charges $0.05 per minute for the voice API, a rate that is inexpensive for short exchanges but can accumulate quickly during long sessions. The update follows the launch of local AI execution on selected Mac computers on October 20, 2026, which was designed for offline use and privacy-focused workflows.
