Google clearly has high hopes for Gemini 3 in the coding domain. Along with the new model, the company has released Google Antigravity, a new agentic development platform that will likely compete with fast-growing startup Cursor, which sells its own AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE).

Google has been under pressure to deliver big improvements with its latest AI model. Here are five key Gemini 3 features.

After more than a month of rumors and feverish speculation — including Polymarket wagering on the release date — Google today unveiled Gemini 3, its newest proprietary frontier model family and the company’s most comprehensive AI release since the Gemini line debuted in 2023.

To try Gemini 3 Pro inside of the Gemini app, select "Thinking" from the model picker. The new model is available to everyone, though AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers can use it more often before hitting their rate limit. To make the most of Gemini Agent, you'll need to grant the tool access to your Google apps.

Google released Gemini 3, its latest and most advanced foundation model, to be made immediately available through the Gemini app and AI search interface.

Google says Gemini 3 is "built to grasp depth and nuance" and is better at understanding the intent behind a user's request. The company also touted Gemini 3's multimodal capabilities, such as its ability to turn a long video lecture into interactive flash cards or to analyze a person's pickleball match and find areas for improvement.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai touted the latest version of Gemini as a chatbot that needs "less prompting" as competitor OpenAI advances.

Google is beginning to launch Gemini 3 today, a new series of models the company says is its “most intelligent” and “factually accurate” AI systems yet. They’re also a chance for Google to leap ahead of OpenAI following the rocky launch of GPT-5, potentially putting the company at the forefront of consumer-focused AI models.

Google released its Gemini 3 AI model today after weeks of social media hype, vague posting, and wink emojis. An early-morning leak of the Pro version’s model card—which outlines key details about the system and its benchmark performance—had developers posting on X as though Santa had arrived early.
