Audio/video understanding and text generation	Gemini 3.8 Flash	qwen3.8-omni-flash
Real-time translation	Gemini 3.5 Live Translate	`qwen3.5-livetranslate-flash-realtime`

NoteFor speech output, use qwen3.5-omni-plus.

Use cases

Omni-modal models understand text, audio, images, and video. Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash supports audio/video analysis, meeting summaries, and subtitle generation, with thinking mode, tool calling, and web search. Choose a model for your use case:

Use case	Recommended model	User guide
Audio/video understanding and text generation: Analyze audio/video content and generate meeting summaries, subtitles, and text answers	Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash (Chat Completions / Responses)	Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash guide
Real-time voice/video conversation: Interact with AI through a microphone and camera (voice assistants, customer service bots, visual Q&A, live-stream analysis)	Qwen3.5-Omni Realtime (WebSocket)	Qwen-Omni-Realtime
Offline audio output: Upload audio or video files and generate speech responses	Qwen3.5-Omni (Chat Completions)	Non-real-time (Qwen-Omni)
Real-time voice translation: Simultaneous interpretation with approximately 3-second latency, supporting 60 languages (live interpretation, multilingual meetings)	Qwen3.5-Livetranslate (WebSocket)	Real-time audio and video translation - Qwen
Audio and video file translation: Upload audio or video files and translate them into a target language (video dubbing, podcast translation)	Qwen3-Livetranslate (Chat Completions)	Audio and video file translation (Qwen)
Voice cloning: Provide a reference audio clip and the AI generates speech responses in that voice	Qwen3.5-Omni Plus / Flash (Chat Completions / Realtime API)	Voice cloning
Real-time voice conversation with semantic VAD: End-to-end voice interaction, semantic turn detection (smart_turn), non-meaningful utterances won't interrupt the conversation, supports Function Calling (voice assistants, smart customer service)	Qwen-Audio (WebSocket)	Realtime Audio Chat (Qwen-Audio-Realtime)

When using Qwen3.5-Omni for content analysis, it supports audio up to 3 hours and video up to 1 hour per request.
Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash (Chat Completions and Responses), Qwen3.5-Omni Plus / Flash (HTTP, text output), Qwen3-Omni-Flash (HTTP only), and Qwen-Audio Realtime (WebSocket) support function calling.
Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash (Chat Completions / Responses) and Qwen3.5-Omni (Chat Completions / Realtime API) support web search. Qwen3.5-Omni cannot enable web search and function calling at the same time.

Translation

For audio/video translation into text or subtitles, use Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash. For spoken translations, choose a model below based on latency and speech output requirements.

NoteQuick setup: Qwen3.5-Livetranslate (60 languages, ~3 s latency, out-of-the-box). Speech output with web search and term injection: Qwen3.5-Omni (29 output languages, web search and term injection).
