Mistral AI has launched Voxtral 3, a new family of language models built for real-time voice agents. The system includes a speech-to-text model (Voxtral Small Transcribe 3), a text-to-speech model (Voxtral Mini TTS 3), and a voice agent SDK based on LiveKit. Together, they combine listening, thinking, tool use, and speaking into a single streaming pipeline. Transcription covers more than 50 languages. Text-to-speech output supports over 35 languages and 50 dialects with emotional adaptation. Agents can tap into external systems during live conversations, for example, to book appointments or check invoices.
