The "Extended Thinking" variant performs multi-step tasks in Gmail, Docs, and Keep while voice conversations continue uninterrupted. https:// netguide.io/news/en/2026/09/15 /google-gemini-3-8-live-ai-model-thinks-while-it-speaks/ # Uncategorized # ArtificialIntelligence # Gemini # Gmail # Google # VoiceAssistant
Open mentionβοΈ Googleβs new voice models just topped the speech-to-speech leaderboard Google has released Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, targeting real-time voice agents rather than traditional text-based interactions. Gemini 3.8 Live reportedly reaches frontier-level performance at around $0.84 per hour, while delivering a higher composite score than GPT-Realtime-2 High at roughly 80% lower measured cost. Both models are multimodal: voice is the main interface, but they can also process visual information during a conversation and automatically switch between 97 supported languages. The biggest difference comes with Extended Thinking. It scores 68.6% on Ο-Voice, narrowly ahead of GPT-Live-1 Astra Medium at 67.9%. Ο-Voice isnβt simply testing whether an AI sounds natural. It measures whether a voice agent can actually complete complex, multi-step customer-service tasks while following policies, using tools correctly and reaching the right outcome across airline, retail and telecom scenarios. @aipost π΄
Open mentionπ Google adds background reasoning to Gemini Live Gemini 3.8 Live can keep a voice conversation going while it calls tools and handles multi-step tasks through APIs. It also processes images almost in real time and switches between 97 languages during a call. The Extended Thinking version targets harder voice tasks. It ranked first on Speech to Speech Quality Index with 82.6 and scored 97.7% on Big Bench Audio. Both models are appearing in Gemini API and Google AI Studio. Extended Thinking is also available in Gemini Live and some Google apps. π@tech
