What it does well
This model is built for live, spoken back-and-forth. Instead of typing your question and reading the answer, you can just speak to it. It is designed to "think fast," which means it can process what you say and reply out loud without making you wait around.
What it costs and what it can handle
The model handles Speech to Speech, which means it takes your spoken audio as input and gives spoken audio back. The announcement does not mention specific prices, memory limits, or how long your audio can be.
Worth knowing
Right now, it is only available through xAI's Speech to Speech API (an API is a set of programming tools that lets different software talk to each other). This means you cannot just download a simple app to use it; developers need to connect it to their own programs. You also have to read their developer guides to figure out exactly how to set it up.
