openai-python 3.34.0 adds Realtime Translation WebSocket sessions
sdkvendor: openaipublished: 1h agoconfidence: 0.85id: a5c03166-33d0-4791-b64e-e657cb6388ed
The OpenAI Python SDK v3.34.0 introduces support for Realtime Translation WebSocket sessions, enabling agents to stream audio/text through OpenAI's realtime translation API. It also surfaces a new 'degraded' status for external storage in API responses.
capability delta
An agent can now open a Realtime Translation WebSocket session via the official OpenAI Python SDK to stream live translations, and detect degraded external storage status in API responses.
curator note
Realtime Translation sessions are a net-new SDK surface; worth flagging for voice/multimodal agent builders.
