Builders discuss experimenting with Lyria as a partner in music creation and connecting a Reachy Mini robot to Gemini through WebSockets. They describe using voice models to help someone with visual impairment understand what is in front of her, and note that Gemma can be useful where Wi-Fi is unavailable. They also praise the responsiveness of live audio, Gemini’s Extended Thinking feature, and performance on the MAviS Bench speech-to-speech benchmark.

  • One speaker sees Lyria as a partner for music creation.
  • Reachy Mini has a Gemini client that connects to Gemini in the cloud through WebSockets.
  • Gemini Live or a Gemma model could use voice to help a person with visual impairment understand their surroundings.
  • Gemma models may be useful in environments without Wi-Fi.
  • Live audio is praised for fast responses and gathering context in real time.
  • Extended Thinking can run a long process in the background while a separate conversation continues.
  • MAviS Bench evaluated Gemini alongside other speech-to-speech models, and the speaker says Gemini performed very well.

00:02 How have you been experimenting with the Lyria models? - I’m a big fan of them. I’d like to think it more as a partner. for my music creation. - This is Gemini 3.8, and Reachy Mini has a Gemini 3.8 client which is connecting through WebSockets to Gemini 3.8 running in the cloud. - I’m working with somebody right now that has some visual impairment. I was thinking of using Gemini Live or a Gemma model to be able to use voice to actually see what’s in front of her. - We discussed Gemma models. They are perfect because

00:34 in some environments you might not have a Wi-Fi connection. - We’re loving how live audio is feeling now. It’s, you know, an agent can respond really quickly it gathers the context in real time. - I love your guys’ Extended Thinking feature. That’s very cool that you can have a long running process go in the background while you have conversation that’s not related to the async tool call that’s going on. We recently released a benchmark called MAviS Bench where we benchmarked you guys along with a couple of other speech-to-speech models, and you guys are absolutely killing it.
