Google gives Gemini 3.8 Live an animated, lip-synced face

Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar gives Google’s AI a face

Gemini 3.8 Live now lets you talk to an animated avatar that lip-syncs and reacts in real time. It's only available to Enterprise customers for now. Google says it handles 97 languages without degrading video fidelity or introducing visual drift, and a demo shows mouth movements matching both English and Japanese. The post doesn't say when individual users might get access.
