Google announced that its Gemini API now offers two new text‑to‑speech (TTS) models. Gemini‑3.8‑flash‑tts is a high‑quality, studio‑grade voice model with regional dialects and long‑form stability. Gemini‑3.8‑flash‑lite‑tts is a faster, cheaper model meant to replace the older flash‑tts‑preview for real‑time voice agents.
Developers can now add more natural, cost‑effective voice output to apps, especially for agents that need real‑time conversation.
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.
