Google launches Gemini 3 Pro, setting a new AI benchmark with superior reasoning and multimodality. Explore its Generative UI, new agentic developer tools like Antigravity, and its competitive edge.
The competition in artificial intelligence (AI) has intensified with Google's launch of Gemini 3. This is Google's newest and most powerful AI model, and the first version released is called Gemini 3 Pro. The company is calling this launch the start of a "new era of intelligence." It shows a massive leap forward in how AI models can think, understand many types of data simultaneously, and handle complex, step-by-step tasks independently. Google is rolling out Gemini 3 immediately. It is quickly being added to the tools people use every day, including the Gemini app, Google Search's AI Mode, and the business platform Vertex AI. By doing this, Google has set a high new standard in the AI world, directly challenging rivals like OpenAI's GPT models and Anthropic's Claude.
The power of Gemini 3 comes from major upgrades to how the AI processes information and solves problems.
Google says Gemini 3 has "state-of-the-art reasoning." This means the AI model can grasp and work through complex, layered problems with a depth never before seen in their models. It can look at a situation, analyze all the parts, and create a logical path to a solution.
Top Test Scores
Gemini 3 Pro has claimed the highest scores in several major industry tests. It performed much better than its previous versions and its competitors on key thinking challenges. These include tests like Humanity's Last Exam and the GPQA Diamond science questions. These specific benchmarks are vital because they measure the model's ability to think like a human and answer questions that require deep scientific knowledge and complex logic, not just simple fact recall.
Deep Think Mode
Google also introduced Gemini 3 Deep Think. This enhanced mode is designed for premium subscribers and select testers. Deep Think pushes the performance even further by focusing on visual reasoning challenges. These challenges include the abstract puzzles in the ARC-AGI test suite, which often require the AI to understand concepts it has never encountered before and to find novel solutions.
CEO Sundar Pichai stated that Gemini 3 is now the "best model in the world for multimodal understanding." Multimodality means the model can smoothly process and combine information from many different sources—not just text, but also images, video, audio, and computer code—all within a single conversation or task.
While the test results are impressive, early hands-on testing by researchers provides a helpful, balanced view of the model's true capabilities. This helps address potential confusion about what the AI can and cannot do yet.
It Still Makes Mistakes
Researchers noted that Gemini 3, like all advanced AI, is still prone to "hallucinating," or creating false information. It was observed that the model often tries too hard to provide an answer, rather than simply admitting that it lacks the correct information.
Speed vs. Quality
In a practical test, the model demonstrated incredible speed, building a working software interface (e.g., a Streamlit dashboard) almost instantly. However, when asked for personal advice, the quality of the answer dropped. For example, a grown-up tester received generic, non-tailored advice, such as being told to "eat high-nutrition food to 'grow.'" This shows that while the model is a fast builder, it still needs refinement in providing truly personalized, high-quality, and context-aware guidance.
The most revolutionary aspect of this release is the launch of Generative Interfaces, also known as Generative UI. This concept means the AI doesn't just reply with simple text; instead, it creates a fully customized, interactive screen or application on the fly to help the user complete their task.

For software developers and large businesses, Google is making a strong push toward agentic software development. This means creating software where AI agents can operate primarily on their own.
The timing of the Gemini 3 launch shows the fast pace of the AI arms race. By showing clear dominance on complex reasoning tests, Google has temporarily gained the performance lead. However, the real, long-term advantage lies in distribution. With Gemini 3 immediately integrated into popular tools like the Gemini app (used by 650 million people monthly) and AI Overviews in Search (used by 2 billion people monthly), Google is best positioned to quickly turn its AI investment into widely used, practical features.
The overall feeling among experts is that while the title of the "most capable large language model" might change hands quickly, Gemini 3's core strengths in reasoning, handling all media types, and its introduction of the new, interactive user interfaces establish an entirely new playing field for the next generation of AI tools.
