Google took the wraps off its latest AI model, Gemini 3.1 Pro, on Thursday, calling it a "step forward in core reasoning." The software giant says its latest model is smarter and more capable for complex problem-solving.
Google shared a series of bookmarks and examples of the latest model's capabilities, and is rolling out Gemini 3.1 to a series of products for consumers, enterprise and developers.
The overall AI model landscape seems to change weekly. Google's release comes just a few days after Anthropic dropped the latest version of Claude, Sonnet 4.6, which can operate a computer at a human baseline level.
