Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar, a feature that adds near real-time video generation and a visual persona to the existing Gemini 3.8 Live dialogue model. The feature supports lip-syncing, expressions, turn-taking, asynchronous tool execution, and native multilingual speech-to-speech synchronization across 97 languages. It is available starting today in Gemini Enterprise, with custom avatar creation available through enterprise allowlisting.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://deepmind.google/blog/introducing-gemini-38-live-with-live-avatar/:

> By pairing near real-time video generation with speech, the Live Avatar feature creates an experience that listens, sees, and speaks with a dynamic visual persona.
