### AI overview

The article describes a browser-based web UI for trying Google's Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking speech-to-speech models. The implementation supports model and voice selection, an optional system prompt, voice conversations, and interruption while the model is speaking. It uses no libraries, connecting to a WebSocket endpoint and using the Web Audio API for capture and playback.

### Source excerpt

Tool: Gemini Live audio Google released Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking today - two new speech-to-speech models that are a similar shape to OpenAI's GPT-Live family. I pointed GPT-6 Astra Extra High at the documentation and had it build me this web UI for trying out the new models. You can select a model and voice preset, enter an optional system prompt and then start a voice conversation through your browser, including the ability to interrupt the model while it is talking. The implementation uses no libraries. It connects to the wss://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/ws/google.ai.generativelanguage.v1alpha.GenerativeService.BidiGenerateContent?key=... WebSocket endpoint and uses a Web Audio API AudioContext for both capture and playback. Here's the Gemini Live tutorial for getting started with that WebSockets API.
