SpaceXAI News · event date: 14 October 2026Audio

SpaceXAI released Grok Voice 3.0 on 14 October. In the Artificial Analysis index the model scores 86.9 against 83.2 for GPT-Live-1, in a table published by SpaceXAI itself. The price is the same as Grok Voice 2.0.

In short
  • 14 October 2026: SpaceXAI announced Grok Voice 3.0, a speech-to-speech model it calls the most intelligent in the world. It is available in the Voice Agent API.
  • Per Artificial Analysis, as cited by SpaceXAI: 86.9 in the Speech-to-Speech Index against 83.2 for GPT-Live-1 and 82.6 for Gemini 3.8 Live. On τ-Voice GPT-Live-1 scores higher: 74.5% against 71.6%.
  • Price: $0.08 a minute ($4.80 an hour), the same as Grok Voice 2.0. Agents on grok-voice-latest were switched over automatically.

$0.08 a minute. That is what Grok Voice 2.0 cost and what 3.0 costs. The price is the line nobody will quote. They'll quote the other one: SpaceXAI calls Grok Voice 3.0 the most intelligent speech-to-speech model in the world.

The facts: on 14 October 2026 SpaceXAI announced Grok Voice 3.0, which it calls the most intelligent speech-to-speech model in the world (the company's words). In Artificial Analysis's independent testing the model ranks first in the Speech-to-Speech Index with 86.9, against 83.2 for GPT-Live-1 (Astra, Medium), 82.6 for Gemini 3.8 Live and 81.3 for Grok Voice 2.0; the table was published by SpaceXAI with Artificial Analysis, 13 October 2026, as its source. On τ-Voice, the test of calls with accents, noise and interruptions, Grok Voice 3.0 scores 71.6%, which SpaceXAI calls comparable with GPT-Live-1 at 40% lower latency; in the company's chart GPT-Live-1 is at 74.5%. The price is $0.08 a minute ($4.80 an hour) in the Voice Agent API, the same as Grok Voice 2.0; agents using grok-voice-latest have already been switched over automatically. By SpaceXAI's figures, Starlink call centers use Grok Voice to answer 20,000 calls a day, and roughly 70% of them are resolved with no human in the loop.

The index belongs to an outside firm, and that weighs more than the usual in-house number. But the table is published on SpaceXAI's page, and it holds only Grok Voice 3.0, its predecessor, GPT-Live-1 and Gemini 3.8 Live. Which other models are in the index and where they stand, the page doesn't say. In the table, GPT-Live-1 is second with 83.2.

The index is external. The table is SpaceXAI's.

On τ-Voice the model doesn't lead. The test measures how agents handle support calls: Grok Voice 3.0 scores 71.6%, GPT-Live-1 74.5%. SpaceXAI presents it as comparable and adds the lower latency. “Comparable” is its word, and the 20,000 calls a day at Starlink are its number.

If you use grok-voice-latest, you're already on 3.0: SpaceXAI switched those agents over automatically. The price is the same. The behavior may not be. Run your test calls again.
