Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
Google · Lanzado sept 2026
Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking is the voice-agent model to start with: it tops Artificial Analysis' Speech to Speech Index and reasons and calls tools in the background while it keeps talking, at the same rate as the default Gemini 3.8 Live. The caveat is the Live API surface: no structured outputs, caching, code execution or batch. Right for teams building real-time voice agents that must solve multi-step problems mid-call.
¿Es adecuada para ti?
Bueno para
- Real-time voice agents that must reason through multi-step problems mid-conversation
- Calling tools and APIs in the background while the conversation continues

No recomendado para
- Workloads that need structured outputs, context caching, code execution or the Batch API, none of which the model supports
- Inputs above 131,072 tokens
- Sensitive data on the free tier, which Google's pricing page marks as used to improve its products
