Developers, startups, students and teams in India who want frontier AI models without a foreign credit card, separate provider accounts or USD billing.

Question 3

What is GPT Live 1?

GPT Live 1 is OpenAI's full-duplex voice model: it listens and speaks at the same time, handles interruptions naturally, and delegates reasoning and tool calls to a backend agent. It is audio-only — no image or video input. See the GPT Live 1 model page for the full capability list.

Question 4

How much does GPT Live 1 cost on TokenBazaar?

Which voices does GPT Live 1 support?

Twelve named voices — Quartz, Ripple, Vesper, Willow, Stone, Gleam, Meridian, Bossa, Tempo, Beacon, Delta and Cinder — plus the default marin and authorized custom voices. Accents range from Australian and British to Brazilian Portuguese and Southern US.

Question 6

Can GPT Live 1 make phone calls?

Yes. It connects over WebRTC, WebSocket or SIP, and official partner integrations include LiveKit, Twilio, Telnyx and Daily/Pipecat, so it can power customer-support and reservation phone agents.

Question 7

What is the difference between Lyria 3 Clip and Lyria 3 Pro?

Question 8

Can Lyria 3 sing my own lyrics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste your lyrics with section tags like [Verse 1], [Chorus] and [Bridge] in the prompt and Lyria sings them. It can also write its own lyrics, sing in a described vocal style, or produce instrumental-only tracks.

Question 9

How do I control the music Lyria 3 generates?

Accepted Answer

Everything goes in the prompt text: genre, BPM, key/scale, mood, instruments, energy, arrangement and even timing of musical events (for example "drop at 20 seconds"). You can also send an image to set the mood. There are no separate parameter fields.
