Gemini 3.5 Live Translate

Preview

Real-time speech-to-speech translation across 70+ languages. NOT on Google's deprecations table at all (checked 2026-08-19) — it was found by diffing the models and pricing pages against the catalog — so no release date and no lifecycle field is published for it anywhere first-party, and released stays null. Audio-only billing: input $3.50 or $0.0053 per minute, output $21.00 or $0.0315 per minute, at 25 tokens per second of audio, which Google states works out to roughly $0.0368 per minute. Google's current models page publishes no input/output token limits for this endpoint (read 2026-08-19), so context_window and max_output_tokens are null rather than carried over from a page that no longer states them. Lifecycle read first-party from Google's deprecations table on 2026-08-19.

Gemini 3.5 Live Translate by Google costs $3.50 per 1M input tokens and $21 per 1M output tokens ($7.88/1M blended). It is in preview.
