Google Launches Gemini 3, Its Most Intelligent AI Model Yet

Google has officially introduced Gemini 3, the newest and most powerful version of its AI model, marking a major leap forward in reasoning, creativity, and user understanding. The update brings together all of Gemini’s capabilities while improving the model’s ability to interpret intent and produce high-quality responses with minimal prompting.

The announcement was made in an email sent to users, where Google described Gemini 3 as “state-of-the-art in reasoning” and engineered to grasp depth and complexity across tasks.

A Stronger Competitor in the AI Race

Nearly two years after its initial debut, Gemini continues to face fierce competition from OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta AI, and China’s DeepSeek. Despite this, Google says the model has maintained significant global traction:

• 2 billion users interact with Gemini monthly
• The standalone Gemini app now sees over 650 million monthly users

Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said Gemini 3 represents a new chapter in advancing AI intelligence, personalisation, and user assistance.

“Like the generations before it, Gemini 3 is once again advancing the state of the art… We’ll continue to push the frontiers of intelligence, agents, and personalisation to make AI truly helpful for everyone,” Pichai wrote.

Google describes Gemini 3 as its biggest step yet toward making AI truly useful for everyday tasks, addressing growing demand for powerful and reliable assistance tools.

Introducing Gemini 3 Pro: Multimodal and Benchmark-Leading

As part of the launch, Google also unveiled Gemini 3 Pro, an upgraded multimodal model that outperforms Gemini 2.5 across all major AI benchmarks.

According to Google:

• Gemini 3 Pro shows PhD-level reasoning
• It sets a new standard for frontier models in mathematics
• It provides responses that are more direct, smarter, and higher in quality

Developers can now use natural language to build, create, and troubleshoot more effectively with fewer prompts.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis described Gemini 3 Pro as a genuine thought partner:

“Gemini 3 Pro tells 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.”

Gemini 3 Is Now Integrated Into Google Search

A major highlight of the release is the immediate integration of Gemini 3 into Google Search—the first time a Gemini model is deployed on day one.

Google says the integration dramatically enhances the search experience by:

• Delivering deeper, more accurate research
• Surfacing content that older models may have missed
• Generating clearer, more actionable results

According to Google, Gemini 3 automatically analyses a query and presents results in the most helpful format, including images, tables, and grids.

“The final output isn’t just informative, but clear and actionable,” Google noted.
