Gemini 3.8 Live

GoogleProprietaryPending Human Review

Gemini 3.8 Live is a generally available real-time audio-to-audio model for low-latency voice agents and dialogue. Text, image, audio, and video input can be combined in a live session, with text and audio responses. Interleaved reasoning and asynchronous function calling help agents continue an interaction while using tools. It is the standard Live tier; extended background reasoning has a separately named model identity.
