Gemini 3.8 Live targets cost efficiency and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking adds multi-step reasoning. Both support 97 languages, including Japanese, converse in real time, and are available through API. In tests by the third-party organization Artificial Analysis, Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking scored above OpenAI's GPT-Live-1-Astra and SpaceXAI's Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0.","whyItMatters":"Google is now shipping a voice model that holds a conversation and completes coding tasks at the same time, and the third-party benchmark result puts it ahead of the rival voice models named in the same comparison.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGoogle put both models behind its Live API for developers. The demo videos show the split the company is selling: one model keeps a spoken conversation going while following a standing instruction such as responding only when addressed, and the other codes while the user talks to it.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe evaluation graph plots task completion rate against conversation quality, and Google positions the pair as reaching both at once rather than trading one for the other.
