emitted when a Response is interrupted, incomplete, or cancelled.

event_idstringrequired

Example

RealtimeServerEventSessionCreated

connection is established as the first server event. This event will contain
the default Session configuration.

event_idstringrequired

The unique ID of the server event.

typestringrequired

The event type, must be session.created.

Allowed values:session.created

sessionobjectrequired

Realtime session object configuration.

Show Child Parameters
Example

RealtimeServerEventSessionUpdated

object

Returned when a session is updated with a session.update event, unless
there is an error.

event_idstringrequired

The unique ID of the server event.

typestringrequired

The event type, must be session.updated.

Allowed values:session.updated

sessionobjectrequired

Realtime session object configuration.

Show Child Parameters
Example

RealtimeSession

object

Realtime session object configuration.

idstring

Unique identifier for the session object.

modalities

The set of modalities the model can respond with. To disable audio,
set this to [“text”].

modelAny Of

The Realtime model used for this session.

Variant 1string
instructionsstring

The default system instructions (i.e. system message) prepended to model
calls. This field allows the client to guide the model on desired
responses. The model can be instructed on response content and format,
(e.g. “be extremely succinct”, “act friendly”, “here are examples of good
responses”) and on audio behavior (e.g. “talk quickly”, “inject emotion
into your voice”, “laugh frequently”). The instructions are not guaranteed
to be followed by the model, but they provide guidance to the model on the
desired behavior.

Note that the server sets default instructions which will be used if this
field is not set and are visible in the session.created event at the
start of the session.

voicestring

The voice the model uses to respond. Voice cannot be changed during the
session once the model has responded with audio at least once. Current
voice options are alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo sage,
shimmer and verse.

Allowed values:alloyashballadcoralechosageshimmerverse

input_audio_formatstring

The format of input audio. Options are pcm16, g711_ulaw, or g711_alaw.
For pcm16, input audio must be 16-bit PCM at a 24kHz sample rate,
single channel (mono), and little-endian byte order.

Allowed values:pcm16g711_ulawg711_alaw

output_audio_formatstring

The format of output audio. Options are pcm16, g711_ulaw, or g711_alaw.
For pcm16, output audio is sampled at a rate of 24kHz.

Allowed values:pcm16g711_ulawg711_alaw

input_audio_transcriptionobject

Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be
set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native
to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs
asynchronously through Whisper and should be treated as rough guidance
rather than the representation understood by the model.

Show Child Parameters
turn_detectionobject

Configuration for turn detection. Can be set to null to turn off. Server
VAD means that the model will detect the start and end of speech based on
audio volume and respond at the end of user speech.

Show Child Parameters
toolsarray[object]

Tools (functions) available to the model.

Show Child Parameters
tool_choicestring

How the model chooses tools. Options are auto, none, required, or
specify a function.

temperaturenumber

Sampling temperature for the model, limited to [0.6, 1.2]. Defaults to 0.8.

max_response_output_tokensOne Of

Maximum number of output tokens for a single assistant response,
inclusive of tool calls. Provide an integer between 1 and 4096 to
limit output tokens, or inf for the maximum available tokens for a
given model. Defaults to inf.

Variant 1integer
Example

RealtimeSessionCreateRequest

object

Realtime session object configuration.

set this to [“text”].

input_audio_transcriptionobject

Configuration for input audio transcription, defaults to off and can be set to null to turn off once on. Input audio transcription is not native to the model, since the model consumes audio directly. Transcription runs asynchronously through OpenAI Whisper transcription and should be treated as rough guidance rather than the representation understood by the model. The client can optionally set the language and prompt for transcription, these fields will be passed to the Whisper API.
