Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, a new version of Google's speech-to-speech LLM, just launched.
As you can see in the video, the vibes are really good, and our friends who worked on the model are very excited.
There is, of course, day 0 support in @pipecat_ai so you can try the model out just by creating an agent and running it locally:
```
uvx --from pipecat-ai-cli pipecat init
```
This is a teaser for a longer tutorial that @chadbailey59 built together with the @GoogleDeepMind team!
We have lots more fun stuff cooking with this model. Stay tuned for technical deep dives, detailed long-conversation benchmark numbers, and multi-model orchestration sample code that combines this Live model with Gemini reasoning sub-agents in a "thinking fast and slow" architecture.
