# Gaia 2.7 — Realtime and Responses APIs

Modern AI systems are increasingly live.
They respond, stream, and adapt in real time.

With **Gaia 2.7**, the platform adds first-class support for modern **responses** and **realtime** APIs.

---

## The Problem: Live Experiences Need Native Support

Traditional request/response cycles are too limiting for:

- voice interactions,
- streaming output,
- and real-time user feedback.

Gaia 2.7 addresses this by aligning its core with modern API primitives.

---

## Responses API — A Clearer Interaction Contract

**What shipped**

Gaia 2.7 adds support for modern **Responses APIs**, enabling richer tool usage and more structured model outputs.

**Why this matters**

Responses APIs provide:

- cleaner tool-call handling,
- more consistent output formatting,
- and a better foundation for long-running interactions.

---

## Realtime API — Streaming by Default

**What shipped**

Gaia 2.7 introduces support for **Realtime APIs**, unlocking faster, lower-latency experiences.

**Why this matters**

Realtime streaming makes AI feel responsive, which is critical for:

- voice conversations,
- rapid iteration,
- and live user interfaces.

---

## Cleaner Message Hygiene — Less Noise, More Signal

**What shipped**

Gaia 2.7 improves message cleanup and tool evaluation handling, keeping conversations easier to review and audit.

**Why this matters**

As systems grow, noise accumulates.
Cleaner message hygiene keeps logs readable and makes debugging easier.

---

## Looking Ahead

The next release deepens end-user workflows, including **voice stability improvements** and expanded conversation capabilities.

Gaia 2.7 makes realtime possible. **The next release makes it reliable.**
