Google is retiring the Gemini 3.1 Live preview that ran our default voice calls and live translation, so both now run on Gemini 3.8 Live, and a voice model remembered on your device moves to the new one by itself. The first spoken answer can come about a second later, because the new model thinks before it speaks. When a call or a translation fails, you now get one plain sentence in your language instead of the provider's English message.
