Summary

GPT-Realtime-Translate is a narrowly focused speech-to-speech translation model. It consumes incoming audio, streams translated audio, and returns transcript deltas while the source speech is still arriving. The model uses a dedicated Realtime translation endpoint. It is not meant for general reasoning or batch document translation.

GPT-Realtime-Translate uses a 16,000-token context and returns up to 2,000 tokens. OpenAI bills it by audio duration rather than text tokens. Gemini 3.5 Live Translate serves a similar speech-to-speech role and Google documents support for more than 70 languages; GPT-Realtime-Translate also returns transcript deltas.

Methodology
Vendor-reported result. Exact gpt-realtime-translate API model; 120 utterances across four language pairs (English to Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and German); GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 Flash judges used the stated rubric and prompts. The publisher reports 4 wins, 80 ties, and 36 losses against LiveLingo at the utterance-cell level.
Context
LiveLingo is published by a company selling a competing translation product and explicitly discloses its financial interest. The benchmark is publisher-reported, not an independently run evaluation; the two judge models do not remove that conflict. No independent exact-model quality result was found. The page describes the four-language-pair quality cohort separately from its continuous-speech latency examples.

Methodology
Vendor-reported result. Exact gpt-realtime-translate API model; 120 evaluated sessions; source speech start to first translated audio; publisher reports p10-p90 of 485-1,012 ms.
Context
LiveLingo is a financially interested competitor, so this is a vendor-reported measurement. The public raw addendum contains 120 values whose middle pair is 708 and 711 ms, yielding a derived median of 709.5 ms; the page publishes 711 ms. This record retains only the publisher's stated 711 ms and does not present the recomputation as a second benchmark. No measurement protocol beyond the described start and endpoint is provided.

Methodology
Vendor-reported result. The publisher describes continuous speech on 120-second news clips and reports a median 3.8-second lag, increasing to 20.3 seconds on dense audio. It does not publish a sample count for this latency statistic; none is inferred.
Context
LiveLingo is a financially interested competitor and the result is vendor-reported. It is a separate latency metric from first-audio latency and from the 120-utterance comprehension score. The source does not provide the per-model sample count or enough detail to reproduce the statistic.

Independent evaluation. OpenSTBench arXiv:2605.30792v1, exact system label GPT Realtime Translate, evaluated as an online streaming speech-to-speech API system and linked by the paper to OpenAI's gpt-realtime-translate model documentation. The benchmark evaluates a system/API route, not a disclosed fixed weight checkpoint. Translation, speech-quality, temporal-consistency, and MSLT metrics use N=1,000 per direction; speaker-preservation metrics use a 300-example paired LibriTTS set; emotion metrics use RAVDESS EN→ZH N=1,440 and MCAE-SPPS ZH→EN N=1,029; nonverbal-event metrics use NonverbalTTS EN→ZH N=359 and SynParaSpeech ZH→EN N=500. The paper does not publish an immutable API serving revision or confidence intervals.
Context
Independent evaluator preprint reports a named API/system route. This is not an isolated-model or fixed-checkpoint result: OpenAI's serving revision, backend hardware, decoding controls, and API parameters are not pinned. No numeric confidence interval is reported. The source paper version is arXiv:2605.30792v1 (2026-05-29).

Watermarking and provenance

AI watermarking refers to invisible signals embedded in the output. Visible marks and provenance metadata are listed separately. Unknown means there is insufficient evidence for that particular field.

AI watermarking
Subject to limitations. OpenAI lists an inaudible SynthID watermark for supported audio outputs through ChatGPT and the OpenAI API. Coverage can depend on the model, output path and creation date.
