Google Launches Two Gemini 3.8 Models with Real-Time Voice Conversation Support

Google has launched two versions of the Gemini 3.8 Live model that support real-time voice conversations and extended reasoning. The company announced the release of Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking on September 15.

Gemini 3.8 Live supports visual input, automatically switches between 97 languages during conversation, and can call tools and APIs in the background. Google explained that the extended reasoning version continues voice conversations while performing background reasoning and asynchronous tool calls.

The two models are available to developers via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with Gemini 3.8 Live also integrated into Search Live.
