Google introduced Gemini 3.5 Live to its Gemini Live voice mode on April 12, 2026, marking an upgrade to the model powering real-time voice interactions.[^1]

The same model family reached the Gemini Audio platform in a separate update, though the date of that rollout was not specified.[^2]

The read here is that the record covers two distinct product surfaces - Gemini Live and Gemini Audio - but stops short of benchmark figures, training details, or any direct comparison against a prior version. What would settle the picture is performance data: what Gemini 3.5 Live scored, and against what baseline Google measured it.
