Gemini Live API very slow

Gemini API
1

Hi all.

I’m testing Live API with BidiGenerateContentRealtimeInput but, compared to OpenAI gpt-realtime, there is a HUGE different in speed. OpenAI reply in almost less than a second, always, Gemini, when it’s fast, is not less than 2-3 seconds and slow down a lot when the conversation length increase.

I’m using ti to test a phone agent and having 2-3 seconds of total silence between responses is unacceptable. Should I check something ? The websocket is running on a Google Cloud Run instance.

thats a shame because gemini voices are MUCH better than openai but openai is MUCH, MUCH faster, you can talk to her like and human, with gemini its impossibile, after each phrase you have to wait some seconds full of silence
