SpaceXAI’s Grok Voice 3.0 is the new leading Speech to Speech model, debuting at #1# on the Artificial Analysis Speech to Speech Index at 86.9, while also being competitive on latency Grok Voice 3.0 is @SpaceXSI 's successor to Grok Voice 2.0, a Speech to Speech model available through the SpaceXAI Realtime API at $0.08 per minute. We evaluated Grok Voice 3.0 with the Rex voice through the SpaceXAI Realtime API. Key takeaways: ➤ Speech to Speech Index: Grok Voice 3.0 debuts at #1# at 86.9, ahead of GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at 83.2, Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) at 82.6 and GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 80.1. It is up on Grok Voice 2.0 at 81.3 (+5.6 points) and Grok Voice 1.0 at 73.7 (+13.2 points), released just under six months ago. The Index averages Speech Reasoning (Big Bench Audio), Agentic Performance (Tau Voice), Arena Preference, and Task Success Rate ➤ Speech Agent Arena: Grok Voice 3.0 ranks #3# in preference at Elo 1070, behind Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Minimal (1100) and Gemini 3.8 Live (1088) and ahead of GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 1057, and #1# on Task Success Rate at 94.8%, highest on the board, just ahead of Grok Voice 2.0 at 94.6%. Grok Voice 2.0 trails at Elo 1011 ➤ Tau Voice: Grok Voice 3.0 takes the #2# spot on our Tau Voice benchmark implementation at 71.6%, behind GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at 74.5% and ahead of Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) at 68.6% and GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 59.3% - up from 56.5% for Grok Voice 2.0 ➤ Big Bench Audio: Grok Voice 3.0 scores 98.5% on audio reasoning, ahead of Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) at 97.7% and Grok Voice 2.0 at 97.2% ➤ Speed: Average Time to First Audio on Big Bench Audio is 0.81 seconds for Grok Voice 3.0, well ahead of GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at 1.24s, GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at 1.34s and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) at 1.35s, though slower than Grok Voice 2.0 at 0.70s ➤ Cost: Grok Voice 3.0 costs $4.80 per hour of input audio, the same as Grok Voice 2.0. That is above GPT-Live-1 (Sol, low) at $4.47 and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) at $3.50, cheaper than GPT-Live-1 (Astra, medium) at $5.83, and ~2.2x cheaper than GPT-Realtime-2.1 High at $10.75 Congrats to @elonmusk and the @SpaceXSI team 🚀 See below for more detail ⬇️
