SpaceXSI launches Grok Voice 3.0: speech-to-speech model tops Artificial Analysis S2S Index at 86.9, price held at $0.08/min

SpaceXSI (SpaceX Super Intelligence, x.ai) released Grok Voice 3.0 on 2026-10-14 17:04 UTC. Per Artificial Analysis testing (Oct 13) cited on the official blog, it scores 86.9 on the Speech-to-Speech Index (Grok Voice 2.0 81.3, GPT-Live-1 Astra 83.2, Gemini 3.8 Live 82.6), 97% on Full Duplex Bench, and 71.6% on τ-Voice — on par with GPT-Live-1 at ~40% lower latency. In the Voice Agent API, grok-voice-latest now aliases grok-voice-3.0 with an unchanged interface at $0.08/min; grok-voice-2.0 is deprecated.

Key Takeaways

#1 on Artificial Analysis Speech-to-Speech Index at 86.9 (v2.0 81.3, GPT-Live-1 Astra 83.2, Gemini 3.8 Live 82.6)
Big Bench Audio 98.5%, Speech Agent Arena Elo 1070, task success 94.8%, Full Duplex Bench 97.0%
τ-Voice 71.6%, comparable to GPT-Live-1 (Astra) at ~40% lower latency; top accuracy (74%) on ServiceNow EVA-Bench
Same price: $0.08/min ($4.80/hr); grok-voice-latest auto-upgraded to 3.0, grok-voice-2.0 deprecated
Production scale (vendor figures): ~20k Starlink support calls/day, ~70% resolved with no human

LiveKit Agents 1.8.3: Gemini 3.8 Live NON_BLOCKING default, GPTLive Azure, AssemblyAI Universal, safer tool handoffs

LiveKit published Python [email protected] on GitHub (2026-09-26; PyPI livekit-agents 1.8.3): Gemini 3.8 Live defaults tool_behavior=NON_BLOCKING and sends FunctionTool schemas as parameters_json_schema on the text API; OpenAI gains GPTLiveModel.with_azure and moves the Realtime inference client into agents core; STT adds AssemblyAI universal-3-6-pro plus language_confidence, and configurable ElevenLabs realtime chunk duration; voice fixes prevent parallel tools from canceling handoffs, pair tool outputs by call_id, forward frames as-is in fallback/stream adapters, and fix LiveAvatar interruption/plugin registration. Same-day JS @livekit/[email protected] deepens agent_turn telemetry and adaptive interruption.

Key Takeaways

Shipped: [email protected] / PyPI 1.8.3; JS @livekit/[email protected] same day
Gemini 3.8 Live: default NON_BLOCKING tool_behavior; FunctionTool via parameters_json_schema on text API
OpenAI: GPTLiveModel.with_azure; Realtime inference client moved into agents core
STT: AssemblyAI universal-3-6-pro + language_confidence; configurable ElevenLabs realtime chunk duration
Voice correctness: parallel tools no longer cancel handoffs; pair tool outputs by call_id; adapters forward frames as-is

Key Takeaways

DecisionModel base + TypeSafeModel implementer; ask routes by name (#8696, #8733)
Opt-in decision_route_threshold replaces tool-call lean; ModelSelectionContext.prompt (#8737/#8739)
Gemini 3.8 Live realtime + RequestUsage.audio_seconds (#8393/#8427)
decide spans + RunContext.in_durable_context (#8698/#8723)
Upgrade: pip install -U 'pydantic-ai==2.50.0'
