Google announced that the Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash‑Lite TTS models are now generally available (GA) through the Gemini API. The Flash TTS model focuses on studio‑quality voice fidelity, nuanced accents and long‑form stability. The Flash‑Lite TTS version is faster and cheaper, aimed at high‑throughput, real‑time voice agents.
Developers can now add higher‑quality or cheaper real‑time speech synthesis to their apps using Google’s latest Gemini models.
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.
