# WebRTC Weekly Issue #651
A slow week, the audio pipeline versus the model, and TURN on Kubernetes
A rather slow week this time, with the main theme being the discussion and deep dive with Justin Uberti about OpenAI’s approach. The other thing that caught my eye this time? Tor Snowflake on Android.
⭐ Tsahi’s Pick
Built with WebRTC, with Justin Uberti (OpenAI) (Built with WebRTC)
This week, I am picking Justin. I sat down with Justin Uberti - he created WebRTC at Google, founded Ultravox, and now runs real-time infrastructure at OpenAI - the same week OpenAI published its GPT-Live architecture post. 44 minutes of your time to understand how OpenAI fundamentally changed Voice AI architectures moving forward, and why WebRTC still needs working on - especially when you are talking to machines instead of other mere mortals.
