  "account": "Google has unveiled two additional models in its Gemini 3.8 family, bringing the total to four. The new additions, Live and Live Extended Thinking, are production-ready voice assistants aimed at enhancing the fluidity and collaboration of interactions with Gemini.\n\nLive is designed with scalability and cost efficiency in mind, while Live Extended Thinking is tailored for high-complexity tasks. Both models represent Google's expansion of the Gemini 3.8 lineup, which previously consisted solely of Gemini 3.8 Flash.\n\nThis update comes approximately two weeks after the debut of Gemini 3.8 Flash, which itself followed a three-week gap since the launch of Gemini 3.7 Flash. While anticipation builds for the next iteration in the series, Google is actively expanding its current offerings.",
