Build real-time voice applications with Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.5 Transcribe

Today, we released new Gemini Live models in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, expanding our developer suite for building real-time, voice-first product experiences:

Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking: Gemini 3.8 Live brings a step change to our native speech-to-speech models, capable of performing tasks while maintaining dialogue. For complex requests, 3.8 Live Extended Thinking delivers deeper reasoning, ranking #1 on Artificial Analysis' Speech-to-Speech leaderboard.

Gemini 3.5 Transcribe : Our dedicated speech-to-text model brings highly precise transcription across 85+ languages. Released last month, it achieved an average Word Error Rate (WER) of 4.0% (streaming) and 2.6% (non-streaming).
