Google Unveils Gemini 3: A Major Leap Toward General AI and the Company’s Most Capable Model Yet- Google has officially entered the next phase of its AI evolution with the launch of Gemini 3, a model the company describes as its most intelligent, most interactive, and most advanced system ever released. The announcement marks nearly two years since Google initiated what CEO Sundar Pichai called “the Gemini era,” a long-term effort to fuse state-of-the-art AI research with the company’s vast product ecosystem.
In that short time, Gemini has grown from a first-generation multimodal model into a foundational AI system powering Search, the Gemini app, Android, Workspace, Cloud, and tools used by millions of developers worldwide. Now Google is setting the stage for a new chapter—one defined by deeper reasoning, richer multimodality, and the beginnings of large-scale agentic behavior.
Gemini’s Impact So Far
Before unveiling the new model, Pichai highlighted Gemini’s rapid rise and widespread adoption:
-
2 billion monthly users now see Gemini-powered AI Overviews in Google Search.
-
The Gemini mobile app has already surpassed 650 million monthly users.
-
Over 70% of Google Cloud customers use Gemini AI tools.
-
13 million developers have built with Google’s generative models.
Pichai framed this momentum as evidence of the strength of Google’s “full-stack AI approach,” spanning everything from custom chips and massive training infrastructure to research breakthroughs and consumer-scale deployment.
From Gemini 1 to Gemini 3: A Rapid Evolution
Each generation of Gemini has pushed the boundaries of what large AI models can do:
-
Gemini 1 introduced native multimodality and long-context processing.
-
Gemini 2 laid the groundwork for agentic behavior and surpassed prior models in reasoning, powering tasks that require deeper analytical ability.
-
Gemini 2.5 Pro maintained a leading position on LMArena’s reasoning leaderboard for more than half a year.
Now, Gemini 3 builds on all of that progress, aiming to unify intelligence, reasoning, multimodality, and contextual understanding under one system.
Gemini 3: A Model Designed to Understand Depth, Nuance, and Intent
Executives from Google DeepMind, including CEO Demis Hassabis and CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu, emphasized that Gemini 3 is a step toward more general and adaptive AI systems.
Key Focus Areas in Gemini 3
-
State-of-the-art reasoning — enabling the model to parse subtle cues, break down layered problems, and navigate abstract concepts more effectively.
-
Stronger contextual understanding — allowing users to rely less on prompt engineering.
-
Enhanced multimodal abilities — transforming text, images, and video into richer, more dynamic outputs.
-
Agentic capabilities — bringing AI closer to goal-oriented, interactive behavior.
“It’s amazing to think that in just two years, AI has evolved from simply reading text and images to reading the room,” Pichai said.
Available Across Google Products—On Day One
Unlike previous launches, Google is deploying Gemini 3 at massive scale immediately.
Starting today, Gemini 3 is available:
-
In AI Mode in Google Search, including new dynamic reasoning experiences.
-
In the Gemini app.
-
To developers in AI Studio and Vertex AI.
-
Within Google Antigravity, the company’s new agentic development platform.
This marks the first time a new Gemini generation is being integrated into Search from day one—a sign of Google’s confidence in the model’s reliability and performance.
Performance: Benchmark Records Across the Board
According to Google, Gemini 3 Pro, the first model in the Gemini 3 family, delivers major improvements on nearly every AI benchmark that measures reasoning, knowledge, multimodality, and factuality.
Highlights from Gemini 3 Pro’s test results:
-
1501 Elo on LMArena, top of the leaderboard.
-
37.5% on Humanity’s Last Exam (no external tools).
-
91.9% on GPQA Diamond, indicating strong scientific reasoning.
-
23.4% on MathArena Apex, setting a new frontier for mathematical problem-solving.
-
81% on MMMU-Pro and 87.6% on Video-MMMU for multimodal understanding.
-
72.1% on SimpleQA Verified, showing substantial gains in factual accuracy.
These numbers reflect Google’s ongoing focus on precision and reliability—areas where AI systems have historically struggled.
Introducing Gemini 3 Deep Think: Pushing Reasoning Further
In addition to the base Pro model, Google revealed Gemini 3 Deep Think, an enhanced reasoning mode designed for more demanding tasks. Deep Think extends Gemini’s ability to break down novel, complex, and abstract problems.
Deep Think achieves:
-
41.0% on Humanity’s Last Exam
-
93.8% on GPQA Diamond
-
45.1% on ARC-AGI-2 (with code execution), a benchmark designed to measure genuine generalization and problem-solving.
Google says Deep Think will first be made available to safety testers, then rolled out to Google AI Ultra subscribers.
A Vision for Agents, Personalization, and Real-World Utility
With Gemini 3, Google is signaling a long-term shift toward:
-
Agentic AI — assistants that not only answer questions but take actions, plan, coordinate tasks, and interact across tools.
-
Personalized experiences — systems that adapt to users, contexts, and preferences with minimal manual guidance.
-
Practical everyday utility — turning AI into a dependable partner for education, work, creativity, and organization.
Pichai emphasized that the company will “continue to push the frontiers of intelligence, agents, and personalization to make AI truly helpful for everyone.”
Looking Ahead
Gemini 3 is not just another model release; it is a declaration of Google’s strategy in a rapidly escalating AI race. By pairing ambitious research with immediate integration into its global product ecosystem, Google aims to lead the next wave of AI innovation—one powered by richer reasoning, deeper multimodality, and increasingly human-like understanding.
As Pichai closed in his message:
“We hope you like Gemini 3. We’ll keep improving it, and we look forward to seeing what you build with it.”
