Fish Audio Releases Live 3: A Full-Duplex Voice Model That Reacts in 186 ms

Fish Audio has released Live 3, a full-duplex voice model built for real-time voice agents. The Fish Audio Live 3 full-duplex voice model keeps listening while it speaks. That lets a caller pause, say “mm-hmm,” or change their mind without breaking the call. For developers, the pitch is simple: turn-taking moves out of hand-tuned pipeline rules and into the speech model.

TL;DR

• Product: A full-duplex voice model built for real-time voice agents.
• Runs on: Hosted Fish Agent Platform and Fish Audio API; on-premises for enterprises.
• Performance: Fish Audio shows behavior demos but publishes no benchmark scores.
• Best: Can decide to respond in as little as 186 ms for short reactions like “mm-hmm.”
