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**LiveKit Agents.** An Apache-2.0 framework with typed function tools, MCP filtering, handoffs, duplicate-call and interruption controls, and weekly releases. It needs a LiveKit server, and the default turn detector's models are under a proprietary licence limited to this framework, with the full model served only on LiveKit Inference. No approval primitive or prompt-injection guidance was found.\n\n## Before you call either\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### LiveKit Agents\n\n1. Set `LIVEKIT_URL`, `LIVEKIT_API_KEY` and `LIVEKIT_API_SECRET` before starting. Every agent joins a LiveKit room, on LiveKit Cloud or a self-hosted server\n2. Pass `inference.TurnDetector(version=\"v1-mini\")` to keep turn detection local, and read `MODEL_LICENSE` before using LiveKit's turn models anywhere but LiveKit Agents\n3. Pass `record=False`, or a dict per category, to `session.start()` if audio, transcripts, traces and logs must not reach LiveKit Cloud\n4. Call `context.disallow_interruptions()` first in tools that write, and set `on_duplicate=\"reject\"` or `\"confirm\"`. Duplicates are matched by tool name only, not arguments\n5. Wrap MCP servers in `mcp.MCPToolset` with `allowed_tools` (Python only). The `mcp_servers` parameter is deprecated\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, GPT-Live or LiveKit Agents?\n\nLiveKit Agents scores 72.5 (BB) on agent readiness against GPT-Live's 66.8 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. GPT-Live leads on schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Can an agent call GPT-Live and LiveKit Agents without installing anything?\n\nGPT-Live has a hosted endpoint at https://api.openai.com/v1/live/sessions. No hosted endpoint is listed for LiveKit Agents.\n\n### Are GPT-Live and LiveKit Agents open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for GPT-Live. LiveKit Agents is open source (Apache-2.0 for the framework and plugins. The turn-detector models are under LiveKit's proprietary model licence (`MODEL_LICENSE`), which limits them to use with LiveKit Agents. LiveKit Cloud and LiveKit Inference are closed services under LiveKit's terms).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-livekit-agents.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt-live-vs-livekit-agents.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gpt-live\", \"b\": \"livekit-agents\"}`.
