Google DeepMind 发布 Gemini 3.8 Live 与 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
Google DeepMind 推出两款实时语音对话模型:Gemini 3.8 Live 面向规模化与成本效率,结合对话智能、流畅语音与视觉 grounding;Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking 面向高复杂度任务,强化多步推理与智能水平。两者支持实时视觉上下文、后台工具调用与任务执行,可在对话不中断的情况下处理复杂推理。官方称 3.8 Live Extended Thinking 在 Artificial Analysis Speech to Speech Quality Index 上以 82.6 分位列第一。模型即日起通过 Gemini API、Google Workspace、Search 和 Gemini app 提供。
AI推荐理由 Google DeepMind 官方博客发布两款实时语音对话模型 Gemini 3.8 Live 与 3.8 Live Extended Thinking,明确给出定位差异(前者主打规模化与成本效率,后者面向高复杂度多步推理)、可用渠道(Gemini API、Google Workspace、Gemini app、Search)以及 Artificial Analysis Speech to Speech Quality Index 82.6 的排名声明。属于官方首发信息,事实明确、信息密度较高,对语音 Agent 与实时推理方向有直接参考价值;但正文为官方自述,第三方验证与具体定价、延迟数据缺失,故未给更高分。

General summary
Bullet points
Basic explainer
Today, we’re introducing two new models that bring advancements in near real-time reasoning to more effectively enable voice agents and make conversing with AI feel more intuitive and intelligent.
Gemini 3.8 Live: Built for scale and cost efficiency, combining conversational intelligence with fluid dialogue and visual grounding.
Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking: Built for high-complexity tasks, with increased intelligence and multi-step reasoning.
For developers and enterprises, these models deliver the building blocks for reliable, production-ready voice agents. They also make speaking with Gemini across the Gemini app, Google Workspace, and Search more fluid and collaborative — helping you tackle complex tasks using just your voice.
Experience more fluid, intelligent conversations
Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking provides enterprise-grade task completion and intelligence, capturing the #1 overall spot on Artificial Analysis' Speech to Speech Quality Index (82.6), and leads in agentic task completion with 68.6% on τ-Voice and 35.1% on Sierra’s τ-Voice-banking benchmark. It also provides strong reasoning capabilities, scoring 97.7% on Big Bench Audio, while maintaining a highly competitive price point compared to other frontier models.
Gemini 3.8 Live has shown a high preference among users, securing a second place in the Speech Agent Arena. In addition to this performance, it remains highly cost-effective — providing developers and enterprises with a capable and efficient model built for scale.
On ServiceNow’s EVA-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating voice agents, our models push the Pareto Frontier for complex workflows by successfully balancing accuracy with conversational quality.
Note: This was run on the Live API on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
Gemini 3.8 Live processes visual inputs in near real-time, enriching conversations with context for more helpful responses. It automatically detects and transitions between 97 supported languages mid-conversation. It executes tools and API calls in the background while continuing the conversation, so the model can acknowledge requests and keep chatting while tasks finish in the background.
Gemini 3.8 Live guides employee onboarding in real time, using visual context to answer live questions.
Watch Gemini 3.8 Live play chess in near real-time using visual context, reasoning, and natural conversational flow.
For tasks that require deeper reasoning, 3.8 Live Extended Thinking reasons and speaks simultaneously. It delivers increased intelligence for complex workflows while maintaining an uninterrupted conversational flow — using early verbal cues like “Let me check that…” to acknowledge prompts naturally, and live progress narration to walk users through multi-step background tasks as they progress.
Watch Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking transform raw sketches and near real-time voice feedback into functional React components.
See Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking coordinate multi-step bookings and asynchronous function calls — all without interrupting natural live conversation.
Watch Gemini 3.8 Live build complete business plans and custom marketing toolkits on the fly through natural speech.
Across Google Workspace and Search, our Live models deliver more intuitive, collaborative experiences — especially when tackling your most complex tasks.
Try Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking in Google Workspace with Docs Live, Gmail Live, and Keep Live.
Get step-by-step, real-time troubleshooting help powered by Gemini 3.8 Live — right inside Search Live.
Empowering the developer and enterprise voice ecosystem
By using the Gemini Live API, developer platforms such as Agora, Fishjam, LiveKit, Pipecat, Vercel, and Vision Agents enable developers to build and deploy high-performance voice-driven interfaces with ease. These platforms manage complex real-time media streaming infrastructure behind the scenes, allowing developers to focus entirely on crafting the user experience.
We’re also partnering with companies like Salesforce, Genspark, and Lumeris who are excited about 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, highlighting its impressive latency, fluidity, and tool-calling capabilities.
