A new era of intelligence with Gemini 3

A note from Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai

Nearly two years ago we kicked off the Gemini era, one of our biggest scientific and product endeavors ever undertaken as a company. Since then, it’s been incredible to see how much people love it. AI Overviews now have 2 billion users every month. The Gemini app surpasses 650 million users per month, more than 70% of our Cloud customers use our AI, 13 million developers have built with our generative models, and that is just a snippet of the impact we’re seeing.

And we’re able to get advanced capabilities to the world faster than ever, thanks to our differentiated full stack approach to AI innovation — from our leading infrastructure to our world-class research and models and tooling, to products that reach billions of people around the world.

Every generation of Gemini has built on the last, enabling you to do more. Gemini 1’s breakthroughs in native multimodality and long context window expanded the kinds of information that could be processed — and how much of it. Gemini 2 laid the foundation for agentic capabilities and pushed the frontiers on reasoning and thinking, helping with more complex tasks and ideas, leading to Gemini 2.5 Pro topping LMArena for over six months.

And now we’re introducing Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, that combines all of Gemini’s capabilities together so you can bring any idea to life.

It’s state-of-the-art in reasoning, built to grasp depth and nuance — whether it’s perceiving the subtle clues in a creative idea, or peeling apart the overlapping layers of a difficult problem. Gemini 3 is also much better at figuring out the context and intent behind your request, so you get what you need with less prompting. It’s amazing to think that in just two years, AI has evolved from simply reading text and images to reading the room.

And starting today, we’re shipping Gemini at the scale of Google. That includes Gemini 3 in AI Mode in Search with more complex reasoning and new dynamic experiences. This is the first time we are shipping Gemini in Search on day one. Gemini 3 is also coming today to the Gemini app, to developers in AI Studio and Vertex AI, and in our new agentic development platform, Google Antigravity — more below.

Like the generations before it, Gemini 3 is once again advancing the state of the art. In this new chapter, we’ll continue to push the frontiers of intelligence, agents, and personalization to make AI truly helpful for everyone.

We hope you like Gemini 3, we'll keep improving it, and look forward to seeing what you build with it. Much more to come!

Today we’re taking another big step on the path toward AGI and releasing Gemini 3. It’s the best model in the world for multimodal understanding and our most powerful agentic and vibe coding model yet, delivering richer visualizations and deeper interactivity — all built on a foundation of state-of-the-art reasoning.

We’re beginning the Gemini 3 era by releasing Gemini 3 Pro in preview and making it available today across a suite of Google products so you can use it in your daily life to learn, build and plan anything. We’re also introducing Gemini 3 Deep Think — our enhanced reasoning mode that pushes Gemini 3 performance even further — and giving access to safety testers before making it available to Google AI Ultra subscribers.

State-of-the-art reasoning with unprecedented depth and nuance

Gemini 3 Pro can bring any idea to life with its state-of-the-art reasoning and multimodal capabilities. It significantly outperforms 2.5 Pro on every major AI benchmark.

It tops the LMArena Leaderboard with a breakthrough score of 1501 Elo. It demonstrates PhD-level reasoning with top scores on Humanity’s Last Exam (37.5% without the usage of any tools) and GPQA Diamond (91.9%). It also sets a new standard for frontier models in mathematics, achieving a new state-of-the-art of 23.4% on MathArena Apex.

Beyond text, Gemini 3 Pro redefines multimodal reasoning with breakthrough scores of 81% on MMMU-Pro and 87.6% on Video-MMMU. It also scores a state-of-the-art 72.1% on SimpleQA Verified, showing great progress on factual accuracy. This means Gemini 3 Pro is highly capable at solving complex problems across a vast array of topics like science and mathematics with a high-degree of reliability.

Gemini 3 Pro also brings a new level of depth and nuance to every interaction. Its responses are smart, concise and direct, trading cliché and flattery for genuine insight — telling you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. It acts as a true thought partner that gives you new ways to understand information and express yourself, from translating dense scientific concepts by generating code for high-fidelity visualizations to creative brainstorming.

Gemini 3 helps you learn, build and plan anything

Learn anything

Gemini was built from the start to seamlessly synthesize information about any topic across multiple modalities, including text, images, video, audio and code. Gemini 3 pushes the frontier of multimodal reasoning to help you learn in ways that make sense for you by combining its state-of-the-art reasoning, vision and spatial understanding, leading multilingual performance, and 1 million-token context window.

For example, if you want to learn how to cook in your family tradition, Gemini 3 can decipher and translate handwritten recipes in different languages into a shareable family cookbook. Or if you want to learn about a new topic, you can give it academic papers, long video lectures or tutorials and it can generate code for interactive flashcards, visualizations or other formats that will help you master the material. It can even analyze videos of your pickleball match, identify areas where you can improve and generate a training plan for overall form improvements.

Build anything

Building on the success of 2.5 Pro, Gemini 3 delivers on the promise of bringing any idea to life for developers. It’s exceptional at zero-shot generation and handles complex prompts and instructions to render richer, more interactive web UI.

Gemini 3 is the best vibe coding and agentic coding model we’ve ever built – making our products more autonomous and boosting developer productivity. It tops the WebDev Arena leaderboard by scoring an impressive 1487 EloELO. It also scores 54.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, which tests a model’s tool use ability to operate a computer via terminal and it greatly outperforms 2.5 Pro on SWE-bench Verified (76.2%), a benchmark that measures coding agents.

You can now build with Gemini 3 in Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, Gemini CLI and our new agentic development platform, Google Antigravity. It’s also available in third-party platforms like Cursor, GitHub, JetBrains, Manus, Replit and more.

Introducing a new agent-first development experience

As model intelligence accelerates with Gemini 3, we have the opportunity to reimagine the entire developer experience. Today we’re releasing Google Antigravity, our new agentic development platform that enables developers to operate at a higher, task-oriented level.

Using Gemini 3’s advanced reasoning, tool use and agentic coding capabilities, Google Antigravity transforms AI assistance from a tool in a developer’s toolkit into an active partner. While the core of Google Antigravity is a familiar AI IDE experience, its agents have been elevated to a dedicated surface and given direct access to the editor, terminal and browser. Now, agents can autonomously plan and execute complex, end-to-end software tasks simultaneously on your behalf while validating their own code.

In addition to Gemini 3 Pro, Google Antigravity also comes tightly coupled with our latest Gemini 2.5 Computer Use model for browser control and our top-rated image editing model Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Image).

Plan anything

Since introducing the agentic era with Gemini 2, we’ve made a lot of progress, not only advancing Gemini’s coding agent abilities, but also improving its ability to reliably plan ahead over longer horizons. Gemini 3 demonstrates this by topping the leaderboard on Vending-Bench 2, which tests longer horizon planning by managing a simulated vending machine business. Gemini 3 Pro maintains consistent tool usage and decision-making for a full simulated year of operation, driving higher returns without drifting off task.

Building Gemini 3 responsibly

Gemini 3 is our most secure model yet, and has undergone the most comprehensive set of safety evaluations of any Google AI model to date. The model shows reduced sycophancy, increased resistance to prompt injections and improved protection against misuse via cyberattacks.

In addition to our in-house testing for the critical domains in our Frontier Safety Framework, we've also partnered on evaluations with world-leading subject matter experts, provided early access to bodies like the UK AISI, and obtained independent assessments from industry experts like Apollo, Vaultis, Dreadnode and more.

The next era of Gemini

This is just the start of the Gemini 3 era. As of today, Gemini 3 is now available for you to try:

• For everyone in the Gemini app and for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in AI Mode in Search
• For developers in the Gemini API in AI Studio, our new agentic development platform, Google Antigravity; and Gemini CLI
• For enterprises in Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise

For Gemini 3 Deep Think mode, we’re taking extra time for safety evaluations and input from safety testers before making it available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the coming weeks.

We plan to release additional models to the Gemini 3 series soon so you can do more with AI. We look forward to getting your feedback and seeing what you learn, build and plan with Gemini.
