Googles Gemini 3 is smarter, better at figuring out what you need
Google has officially launched Gemini 3, which it touts as its “most intelligent model” to date, setting a new benchmark in the realm of artificial intelligence. This latest iteration of the large language model (LLM) promises enhanced reasoning capabilities, allowing it to better grasp the nuances and complexities of user requests. A key improvement is its ability to discern “the context and intent behind your request,” which aims to reduce the number of prompts needed to achieve desired outcomes. This means users can expect a more intuitive and efficient interaction with the AI, making tasks simpler and more direct.
Gemini 3 is not just a standalone advancement; it has been integrated across various Google products, marking the first time a new model has been launched within Google Search on the same day. Currently, this feature is available exclusively to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. In addition to its deployment in Google Search, Gemini 3 is also operational in the Gemini app, AI Studio, Vertex AI, and Google’s Antigravity platform. Google has highlighted Gemini 3’s performance in competitive benchmarks, revealing that it now leads in the LMArena with an impressive Elo score of 1501, surpassing its predecessor Gemini 2.5 Pro and xAI’s Grok. For those seeking even more robust capabilities, the Gemini 3 Deep Think variant offers superior reasoning skills, excelling in challenging assessments like Humanity’s Last Exam.
The launch also includes a redesigned Gemini app, featuring a new “My Stuff” folder that allows users to easily access their chats and documents created with the AI. Enhancements to the shopping experience and the introduction of generative interfaces are also part of the update, enabling users to receive tailored suggestions based on their prompts. Additionally, the Gemini Agent feature stands out, as it can handle multi-step tasks such as managing appointments, organizing inboxes, and conducting online research. This comprehensive suite of features marks a significant leap forward for Google in the AI landscape, promising users a more powerful and user-friendly experience as they navigate their daily tasks.

Google
has a new contender for the smartest AI in the world.
On Tuesday, the company launched
Gemini 3
, calling it its “most intelligent model.”
The new LLM (large language model) should have improved reasoning, helping it to understand the depth and nuance of the tasks it tackles. But according to Google, it should also be better at figuring out “the context and intent behind your request,” which means you should be able to get things done with less prompts.

Gemini hasn’t only been updated on its own. Google said it shipped the LLM at scale across its products, meaning that Gemini 3 is already live in AI mode in Google Search — the first time the company has shipped a new model in Search on launch day (note, however, that it’s currently only live for
Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers
). Gemini 3 is now also live in the Gemini app, in AI Studio and Vertex AI, as well as in Google’s agentic development platform, Antigravity.

As is customary, Google immediately showed off
Gemini 3’s score
in various benchmarks. For example, Gemini 3 Pro is now the leader in
LMArena
with a score of 1501 Elo, ahead of xAI’s Grok, and Gemini 3’s predecessor, Gemini 2.5 Pro.
And if you want to push it a little further, you can run Gemini 3 Deep Think, which is even better in reasoning and more suited for the most complex tasks. That model is notably
better
in certain benchmarks, including the notoriously tough
Humanity’s Last Exam
.
On top of all that, Google also redesigned its Gemini app. One key change is the My Stuff folder, where you can find the various chats and documents you’ve created with Gemini. The company also improved the shopping experience, and started experimenting with generative interfaces, which are created by the model as you prompt it.
Finally, the Gemini Agent is a feature which can complete multi-step tasks for you, including managing your appointments and reminders, organizing your inbox, or performing research online.
