Google announced that Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash‑Lite TTS are now generally available (GA) as part of the Gemini API. The Flash model is designed for studio‑quality voice, regional accents and long‑form content, while the Lite version is cheaper and faster for high‑throughput, real‑time audio. Both models are accessed via the new /v1beta/voices endpoint.
Developers can now add more natural, customizable speech to apps without the latency or cost of earlier 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.
