No phone numbers or SIP, so you bridge Twilio or another carrier yourself.\n\n**GPT-Live.** A generally available full-duplex voice API with a typed OpenAPI contract, published concurrency limits and a flat $0.05 a minute for the voice session. Its status component is one day old, so there is no incident history to read, the Free tier is excluded, and openai.com refused our reader, so the terms and privacy policy were not read.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Deepgram Voice Agent API\n\n1. Set `mip_opt_out` in the Settings message to keep call audio out of training\n2. Use the function-call hold for anything irreversible, since replies can start before the user's turn is confirmed\n3. Back off exponentially on 429, a pay-as-you-go project gets 45 concurrent sockets\n4. Pin the LLM version, an unpinned Gemini route failed for 1.5 hours on 21 July 2026\n5. Mint browser tokens with `ttl_seconds`, not `ttl`, or they expire after 30 seconds\n\n### GPT-Live\n\n1. Create sessions on a server with the project API key. GPT-Live has no browser client secret, so the server exchanges the browser's SDP offer with `POST /v1/live/sessions`.\n2. Choose `delegation.type` at creation. Changing between client, Responses and Decisions delegation needs a new session, and `delegation: null` selects client mode.\n3. After `session.started`, listen for `error` with code `responses_validation_failed`. Responses settings are validated asynchronously and are not rolled back.\n4. Do not retry an outbound SIP `POST /v1/live/sessions` after a timeout. Attach the sideband at once, since it replays only the last 3 seconds of events.\n5. Keep the transport open until `session.closed` to read the final `usage.seconds`. A WebRTC session bills 15 seconds at creation, credited once it runs.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Deepgram Voice Agent API or GPT-Live?\n\nDeepgram Voice Agent API scores 68.1 (B) on agent readiness against GPT-Live's 66.8 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. GPT-Live leads on reliability and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Deepgram Voice Agent API and GPT-Live need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Deepgram Voice Agent API and GPT-Live without installing anything?\n\nYes. Deepgram Voice Agent API has a hosted endpoint at https://agent.deepgram.com/v1/agent and GPT-Live at https://api.openai.com/v1/live/sessions.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-gpt-live.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-gpt-live.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deepgram-voice-agent\", \"b\": \"gpt-live\"}`. From a terminal: `anchor compare deepgram-voice-agent gpt-live`\n- Each listing in full: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/deepgram-voice-agent.json and https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/gpt-live.json\n\n## Other comparisons with Deepgram Voice Agent API or GPT-Live\n\n- [AssemblyAI Voice Agent API vs Deepgram Voice Agent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/assemblyai-voice-agent-vs-deepgram-voice-agent.md)\n- [AssemblyAI Voice Agent API vs GPT-Live](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/assemblyai-voice-agent-vs-gpt-live.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Deepgram Voice Agent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-deepgram-voice-agent.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs GPT-Live](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-gpt-live.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Deepgram Voice Agent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-deepgram-voice-agent.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs GPT-Live](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-gpt-live.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs ElevenLabs Agents API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-elevenlabs-agents.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Gemini Live API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-gemini-live.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Hume EVI (Empathic Voice Interface)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-hume-evi.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs LiveKit Agents](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-livekit-agents.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs OpenAI Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-openai-realtime.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Pipecat](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-pipecat.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs PlaceCall](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-placecall.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Retell AI API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-retell-ai.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Ultravox Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-ultravox.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Vapi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-vapi.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Vocily AI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-vocily.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Vogent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-vogent.md)\n- [ElevenLabs Agents API + MCP vs GPT-Live](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elevenlabs-agents-vs-gpt-live.md)\n- [Gemini Live API vs GPT-Live](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-live-vs-gpt-live.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs PlaceCall](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-placecall.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Vocily AI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-vocily.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Vogent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-vogent.md)\n- [CueLight vs Deepgram Voice Agent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cuelight-vs-deepgram-voice-agent.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Pipecat PhoneLLM](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-pipecat-phonellm.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Hume EVI (Empathic Voice Interface)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-hume-evi.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs LiveKit Agents](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-livekit-agents.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs OpenAI Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-openai-realtime.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Pipecat](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-pipecat.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Retell AI API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-retell-ai.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Ultravox Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-ultravox.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Vapi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-vapi.md)\n- [GPT-Live vs Pipecat PhoneLLM](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-pipecat-phonellm.md)\n",
