I can then confirm whether LiveKit Inference or the OpenAI plugin path supports that exact model and recommend next steps.

We do not confirm support for the specific model name gpt-realtime-whisper. LiveKit does support OpenAI realtime/STT functionality via two paths:
• LiveKit Inference (we handle billing and integration) which supports OpenAI speech-to-text models like whisper-1 and gpt-4o-transcribe.
• The OpenAI plugin option (you provide your own API key) to connect directly to OpenAI’s realtime models.
If you want, tell me which integration path you plan to use (LiveKit Inference or OpenAI plugin) and whether you need sample code for wiring gpt-realtime-whisper through the OpenAI plugin — I can provide steps or a short example.

To proceed, please tell me:
• Which SDK/environment you’re using (browser JS, Node, or native client).
• Whether you want a short example for sending live audio to OpenAI realtime or a server-side forwarding example that proxies the plugin calls., with interactive elements
