Alphabet Launches New Voice AI Models in Gemini Series
Alphabet (GOOG) has introduced two new models under its Gemini series—Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking—to enhance voice-based artificial intelligence capabilities for complex tasks. These models can process visual information, switch between multiple languages, execute API calls during conversations, and perform multi-step reasoning. Google is already working with companies like Salesforce (CRM) to integrate the technology into enterprise workflows. The advancements in Gemini are part of Alphabet's broader investment strategy in AI, which could directly impact its revenue streams by expanding use cases for voice-based agents across industries. The company has shown strong financial performance recently, including a 24% year-over-year increase in Q2 revenue and an impressive rise in Google Cloud earnings. Alphabet’s stock (GOOGL) is currently trading near $356.76 with a forward P/E ratio of around 17x and has outperformed the S&P 500 over the past year, gaining about 40% compared to the index's roughly 16%. The company’s AI initiatives are seen as key drivers for future growth.
