Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
Google · Sorti 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.
