Gemini 3 Deep Think rolls out to paid subscribers
Google has recently expanded its AI capabilities with the launch of Gemini 3 Deep Think, a new feature available exclusively to AI Ultra subscribers for a monthly fee of $250. This advanced mode is designed to enhance the performance of Google’s latest large language model (LLM) by enabling it to tackle more complex problems through what the company describes as “advanced parallel reasoning.” This allows Gemini 3 Deep Think to explore multiple hypotheses simultaneously, making it a powerful tool for users who require sophisticated AI assistance. The rollout of this feature follows the previous version, Gemini 2.5, and positions Google as a strong competitor in the AI landscape, especially in light of recent reports indicating that OpenAI has experienced a 6% decline in user numbers, attributed in part to the introduction of Gemini 3.
Gemini 3 Deep Think boasts impressive benchmarks, scoring 41% on the challenging LLM evaluation known as Humanity’s Last Exam. This score highlights the model’s enhanced capabilities and potential applications in various fields, from academic research to complex problem-solving in professional environments. For those interested in trying out this new mode, users can access it within the Gemini app by selecting the appropriate option from the prompt bar. The demand for Google’s AI tools remains robust, with the Gemini app reportedly serving 650 million users each month. This high engagement underscores the growing reliance on advanced AI technologies in everyday tasks and the competitive landscape among major players like Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI, all of whom are striving to improve their offerings in the rapidly evolving AI market.
In addition to the launch of Gemini 3 Deep Think, Google has recently faced challenges, such as temporarily limiting access to its next-generation image generator, Nano Banana, which saw a reduction in the number of free image prompts available to users. However, this limitation did not impact subscribers of the AI Pro or AI Ultra plans. As Google continues to innovate and expand its AI capabilities, it remains to be seen how these developments will shape the competitive dynamics in the industry and influence user preferences moving forward. With the introduction of Gemini 3 Deep Think, Google is clearly positioning itself as a leader in the AI space, offering tools that not only enhance productivity but also push the boundaries of what AI can achieve.
