Gemini Live

“its working fantasticly, switching between german/english with no effort”

“Gemini Live now can be used to talk to any article on the web.”

“Gemini was already great at languages and just general spoken conversations.”

“I was incredibly surprised, its shona was really formal but that makes sense”

“Sadly it doesn't support SIP. I found forwarding streams with websocket for phone calls tend to introduce some unwanted latency”

“It does support function calling, so you can hook it to whatever tools you want.”

“what impressed me was its ability to recognize the subtle dialects of shona being spoken”

“Benchmarks don't capture the magic of having a 24/7 native-speaking conversational partner in a rare language.”

“Tell Gemini Live which speaker you want to engage with, and it is relatively intelligent about it.”

“I tried asking the model multiple internet humor and memes and it answered correctly around 80% of the time”

“It's the only model that sometimes loses/forgets context in literally next message.”

“It feels really smooth to drive, kind of buttery compared to other frontier experiences”

“Its 200-300 TPS. GPT is at 50-60. And its like 5% worse? Yeah that is a good tradeoff.”

“translation technology told to guess what's most likely next instead of translate what it was given”

“3.8 has been good enough that I don't think I'll be extending my Claude subscription”

“It should be able to distinguish nearby people from people farther away and give me options to set a threshold on who to include.”

“Playing a legal game of chess without using a guided decoding technique is a massive achievement.”

“3.8 is an incredible model even better is the infrs they host for it.”

“it wasn't as useful as you'd think. I would be talking to someone, and in the background someone else would be talking”

“Also appears to do well in other languages”

“Copes well with thick accent, voices are pleasant and latency seems low.”

“A regular search engine would have taken me hours to find an answer.”

“It's also the only model that generates accurate translation and localization.”

“Their live models have been and continue to be at the frontier. I like them a lot!”

“It really does feel like talking to a real person.”

“when you interrupt it, it shuts up immediately”

“The latency isn't too bad, but it's definitely there.”

“in almost every test I did with Gemini 3.5 Live, it classified my Swedish (native) as Dutch”

“I've been using Gemini Live for a while now and have been able to converse quite fluently.”

“it helped me verify some details around which nvme slot to use first”

“Gemini live is also pretty decent at computer vision stuff too. I've used it while working on my bike & car a few times”

“it really works surprisingly well, especially the interruption”

“I am so thrilled to see it actually helping people in the wild!”

“the live audio/video back and forth we had with the AI was almost magical”

“It kinda was fun, like a very patient professor stand right besides you. It was the one of the best math learning experience I've ever had”

“I can already have impromptu practice sessions with both in Mandarin and English but they quickly lose the plot regarding their role as a tutor”

“I was also surprised at how good Gemini Live mode is in regional Indian languages”

“The voices have none of the annoying artificial uptalking intonations that ChatGPT has”

“Gemini responds in what I think is Spanish, or perhaps Portuguese.”

“Trying to implement their gRPC api from their specs and protobufs for Live is an exercise in immense frustration and futility”
