# Introducing gpt-realtime and Realtime API updates

# Claim

We’re releasing a more advanced speech-to-speech model and new API capabilities including MCP server support, image input, and SIP phone calling support.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section two: vendor threshold and platform capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This is a lower-to-mid strength vendor signal for the capability register. It does not prove displacement on its own, but it records another platform step that can later show up as workflow automation, procurement change, or organisational dependency.
