Google introduces Gemini 3.8 and 3.8 Flash with Live Avatar and Enterprise features

Google has announced and begun rolling out significant updates to its Gemini AI models, including Gemini 3.8 and Gemini 3.8 Flash. A key new feature is the "Live Avatar," which provides an interactive, animated face for the AI chatbot, now accessible to some Gemini users. Concurrently, Google has launched "Gemini Enterprise," an offering tailored for specific industries such as insurance and financial services, and introduced a new cybersecurity-focused model. The Gemini 3.8 Flash model notably includes text-to-speech capabilities that can clone a voice from a 30-second audio sample, though this specific feature is reportedly blocked in the UK via AI Studio. Palo Alto Networks confirmed the integration of its CLARA Agent, offering cloud and AI risk insights, with Google Cloud Gemini Enterprise.
