Google today announced Gemini 3 with the goal of bringing “any idea to life.” The first model available in this family is Gemini 3 Pro with the rollout starting today for the Gemini app and AI Mode.
With Gemini 1.0, Google focused on native multimodality and the long context window. A year later Gemini 2.0 brought advanced reasoning and the beginning of agentic capabilities, while Gemini 2.5 introduced deep reasoning and coding capabilities.
