OpenAI is widening access to its "Advanced Voice" feature for ChatGPT Plus and Team users. The company says the broader rollout will happen this week, bringing custom instructions, memory, and five new voices to more subscribers. The update also includes improved accents and faster conversation speeds. Users will receive a notification when the new features are available to them. However, the expanded rollout excludes the EU, UK, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. OpenAI first demonstrated ChatGPT's voice mode in May, which received praise from early testers.

Participants will get support from OpenAI experts and join a global developer network. The move comes as Google recently announced $120 million in funding for AI education. OpenAI has also funded translations of the MMLU AI intelligence test into 14 languages. This aims to make AI benchmarking more accessible globally.
