Summary
According to a post on X by @Marktechpost, Fish Audio has launched Live 3, a voice model that handles turn-taking inside the speech model itself. The model was trained on real conversations to decide when to acknowledge, wait, respond or stop, and Fish Audio says it can react in as little as 186 ms. At launch it supports English only, no benchmarks have been published, and agents cost $0.035 a minute through Dec 31.

What happened
Live 3 handles turn-taking inside the speech model, trained on real conversations to decide when to acknowledge, wait, respond or stop, and Fish Audio says it can react in as little as 186 ms. It is English only at launch with no published benchmarks; agents cost $0.035 a minute through Dec 31. Why it matters:...
Why it matters
Teams building AI phone support and other voice agents would be most affected, since the claimed ability to stop talking over callers addresses a common usability problem. Without published benchmarks, the latency and turn-taking claims cannot yet be compared with other systems. Watch for independent testing, language support beyond English, and pricing after Dec 31.
