## The brief

Vercel added Google’s Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Flash-Lite TTS to AI Gateway. Both generate speech in more than 100 languages and support long narration and dialogue between two speakers. Vercel positions Flash-Lite for high-volume generation and Flash for more expressive character voices. The documented AI SDK integration requires version 7 or later.
