Google moved Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking to general availability in the Gemini API.
These are the real-time audio models exposed through the
Live API. Live is for the voice path: streaming audio in, streaming audio out, and handling a conversation without bolting together STT, an LLM call, and TTS yourself.What to check:
• Gemini 3.8 Live: the lower-latency voice model.
• Extended Thinking: use it when the spoken request needs more reasoning before the reply.
• GA status: worth revisiting if you held off on a preview-only voice feature.
For .NET teams, this is a good fit for a streaming WebSocket service, not a request-response controller.
