Updated September 17, 2026

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.
