Google announced that the Gemini API now includes two text‑to‑speech (TTS) models. The flagship gemini‑3.8‑flash‑tts is tuned for studio‑quality voices, regional accents and long multi‑turn conversations. The faster, cheaper gemini‑3.8‑flash‑lite‑tts is meant for high‑volume real‑time use and replaces the preview model gemini‑3.1‑flash‑tts‑preview.
Developers can now add higher‑quality or lower‑cost voice output to apps using the same Gemini API.
Models
OpenAI’s new GPT‑6.1 Sol keeps the $2‑$10 per‑million‑token rate while claiming stronger performance, undercutting Anthropic’s Claude and DeepSeek models.
Models
The new v4 and v4 Turbo voices cost $0.08 and $0.04 per 1,000 characters, with a promotional cut to $0.022 and $0.011 per 1,000 until Oct 12.
Models
Oracle’s new Fusion Claw runtime lets its Fusion apps handle multi‑step jobs like staffing and accounting, using AI for reasoning while keeping calculations outside the model.
