The October 14 Grok Voice 3.0 announcement describes a speech-to-speech model for real-time voice agents. It emphasizes interruptions, turn-taking and task completion, with API access priced at $0.08 per minute.

Applications using grok-voice-latest have been moved to the new version automatically, according to the publisher. Benchmark comparisons in the announcement should be interpreted with their stated evaluation setup.

The reported 70% figure concerns Starlink support calls resolved without human intervention. It is not an autonomous-driving statistic: a montage showing a Tesla interior does not establish that the voice model controls the vehicle.
