Changelog Update

Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking generally available (GA): Released two new audio-to-audio models for real-time voice applications using the Live API:

• Gemini 3.8 Live (gemini-3.8-live): The default option for most low-latency voice agent experiences and real-time dialogue without reasoning delays. Features interleaved reasoning, default asynchronous function calling, and full session client content updates.
• Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (gemini-3.8-live-extended-thinking): High-reasoning audio-to-audio model supporting background reasoning during live audio interactions, recommended when higher background reasoning is required.

To get started, see the Live API guide, the Capabilities guide, and the Thinking guide.
