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).
