What changed
| # | What the source says | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Live 3 is a full-duplex speech model: it keeps listening while it speaks, so pauses, quick acknowledgments and mid-sentence corrections can change what it does next, according to Fish Audio's launch post. | Reported |
| 02 | Turn-taking is learned inside the speech model rather than handled by separate rules and thresholds in a pipeline; Fish Audio says it trained Live 3 on real human conversations to learn when to acknowledge, wait, respond or stop. | Reported |
| 03 | It separates backchannel sounds such as "yeah" or "mm-hmm" from real interruptions: it keeps talking through the first and stops for the second. Fish Audio says it can decide to respond in as little as 186 milliseconds. | Reported |
| 04 | Live 3 speaks English only at launch. It is available on the Fish Agent Platform and through the API, and enterprises can deploy it on-premises. | Reported |
| 05 | Fish Audio's agent page lists $0.035 per minute including Live 3 (50% off $0.07 until Dec 31, 2026), plus $0.01 per minute for phone calls and $1.20 a month per phone number; both full-duplex and cascaded agents are supported. | Reported |

In the source’s words
“Live 3 can decide to respond in as little as 186 milliseconds.”
What we have not verified
- We did not run Live 3; the 186 ms figure and the turn-taking behaviour are Fish Audio's own claims, and the post publishes no benchmark against other voice-agent models.
- The post does not say whether Live 3 weights will be released or give a model size.
- The launch price is a limited-time discount; we did not confirm what the rate becomes after Dec 31, 2026 beyond the listed $0.07 per minute original price.
- No date is given for languages other than English.
