We are launching Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking to make voice interactions more natural, fluid, and intelligent. These models handle complex reasoning, real-time visual context, and background task execution without interrupting your conversation. You can start using these features today through the Gemini API, Google Workspace, and the Gemini app.

Google just launched two new AI models that make talking to your devices feel way more natural. They can handle interruptions, switch between languages, and even explain their thought process while they work. Whether you're solving a complex problem or just chatting, the AI now feels like it's actually listening and thinking along with you. It’s a big step toward making AI feel like a real conversation partner.

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.
