Argon Synthesis
IncludedGoogle DeepMind announced Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, two new speech-to-speech models designed for real-time voice conversations. Simon Willison noted the models are structurally similar to OpenAI's GPT-Live offerings and demonstrated a web UI enabling users to select model variants, configure voice presets, add system prompts, and interrupt the model mid-response during live audio interactions.
Where they diverge
No substantive disagreement between sources. Google DeepMind provided the announcement; Willison offered a technical demonstration and comparison to OpenAI's approach, but both describe the same product release and capabilities.
