Fish Audio Releases Live 3, a Full-Duplex Voice Model That Reacts in 186 ms

Fish Audio released Live 3, a full-duplex voice model for real-time voice agents that keeps listening while it speaks and learns turn-taking from real human conversations instead of hand-tuned pipeline rules. Fish Audio says it can decide to respond in as little as 186 ms for short reactions like "mm-hmm," though that figure is a floor for small reactions rather than time-to-first-audio for a full reply, and no benchmark scores have been published. Live 3 runs on the Fish Agent Platform (public beta), the Fish Audio API and on-premises for enterprises, priced at $0.035 per minute until December 31, 2026 versus a $0.07 list rate, and supports English only.
