Gemini 3.8 Live sees the world almost in real time: 97 languages and background calls

Gemini 3.8 Live launched on September 15, 2026: the model detects 97 languages on its own, processes visual context almost in real time, and calls tools in the background. Live is available in Search Live and the Gemini API in public preview, while Extended Thinking has arrived in Gemini Live, Docs, Gmail, and Keep with a subscription.
