Gemini 3.8 Live & Extended Thinking

About

Google’s Gemini 3.8 Live models support real-time, two-way voice conversations through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. Gemini 3.8 Live focuses on low-latency dialogue and visual grounding; the Extended Thinking variant adds background reasoning and asynchronous tool calls for more complex tasks. Developers can build voice assistants and other interactive agents with a free API tier and paid usage tiers.
