Google released Gemini 3.8 Live and Live Extended Thinking, pricing audio input/output at $0.005/$0.018 per minute, respectively.

The supplied Telegram messages report the release of Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking as conversational models. Both are reported available through the Live application programming interface (API) (“Gemini 3.8 Live 和 Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking 现已通过 Live API 开放”).

The disclosed audio prices are $0.005 per minute for input and $0.018 per minute for output (“音频输入定价为每分钟 0.005 美元，音频输出为每分钟 0.018 美元”). These figures distinguish input from output pricing; they are not separate prices assigned respectively to the two model variants.

A related announcement names partnerships with Salesforce, Genspark, and Lumeris (“与 Salesforce、Genspark、以及 Lumeris 构建合作伙伴关系”). Google describes the releases as its best conversational AI models to date (“两款模型为我们目前最出色的对话式人工智能模型”), but the supplied messages provide no supporting benchmark results, latency measurements, or context-window specifications.
