On ComplexFuncBench Audio , a benchmark that captures multi-step function calling with various constraints, it leads with a score of 90.8% compared to our previous model.

On Scale AI’s Audio MultiChallenge , Gemini 3.1 Flash Live leads with a score of 36.1% with “thinking” on. The benchmark specifically tests complex instruction following and long-horizon reasoning amidst the interruptions and hesitations typical of real-world audio.

In Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience , it’s even more effective at recognizing acoustic nuances like pitch and pace than 2.5 Flash Native Audio. It’s also better at dynamically adjusting its response to users' expressions of frustration or confusion.
