Gemini 3.0 is launched! What’s new in Gemini 3?

Google has clearly positioned Gemini 3 Pro as a high-precision, high-efficiency model designed to handle complex tasks requiring extensive world knowledge and advanced multimodal reasoning.

It’s no longer just a chatbot on the internet—it is the flagship model of Google’s most intelligent and advanced multimodal AI series to date, built with full commitment and expertise.

The core of this Gemini upgrade is a “leap in AI intelligence.” Gemini 3 Pro delivers several technological breakthroughs, especially in deep reasoning, consistency in handling complex tasks, and cross-media understanding—laying a solid foundation for the AI Agent era.

Enhanced Performance

Gemini 3.0 outperforms both Gemini 2.5 Pro and its competitors in numerous authoritative AI benchmarks.

• Top of LMArena: In the head-to-head evaluation leaderboard of LMArena, Gemini 3 Pro topped the chart with an Elo score of 1501.
• Advanced scientific reasoning: Scored an impressive 91.9% on the GPQA scientific knowledge test, demonstrating PhD-level Q&A and reasoning skills .
• More human-like responses: Designed to capture nuance and depth, Gemini 3 Pro avoids clichés and flattery, delivering intelligent, concise, and direct replies —making it feel like a true thinking partner .

Improved Reasoning Capabilities

To tackle extremely complex cross-domain problems, Google introduced Gemini 3 Deep Think, a strengthened reasoning mode that scored 41% on the “Finals of Humanity” benchmark, significantly boosting model reasoning abilities.

Multimodal Advancements

Gemini 3 builds on its core strength of being natively multimodal, now elevated to world-class levels. It can seamlessly integrate text, images, audio, code, and even video for complex reasoning .

For example: In multimodal tests, Gemini 3 Pro set new records by synthesizing narratives and pinpointing details from hours-long video footage—even analyzing fast-paced high-frame-rate motion.

More Advanced Agent Capabilities

Gemini 3 demonstrates stronger command-following and tool usage abilities—AI is no longer just an advisor but a planner and executor .

• Multi-step task execution: Reliably follows complex instructions, performing synchronous and sequential tasks.
• Long-term planning and consistency: In long-term operational simulations, Gemini 3 Pro maintained stable tool use and decision quality throughout the year.
• Daily workflow automation: Experimental Gemini Agent handles multi-step workflows such as planning trips from email details, booking services, or organizing your Gmail inbox.

Vibe Coding Capabilities

Gemini 3 is hailed as Google’s most powerful Vibe Coding model to date. It breaks away from reliance on rigid instructions, making AI an expert in intuitive coding. It can turn high-level ideas (like simple sketches or vague design descriptions) into rich, interactive applications or code with great accuracy.

Gemini 3 has evolved from a passive knowledge base to a proactive, deeply reasoning, and hands-on "intelligent agent" . This shift is reflected in three core use cases:

Breaking Information Bottlenecks

With a context window of up to one million tokens, Gemini 3.0 can process vast amounts of data at once. This enables it to read entire books, academic papers, large databases, or codebases—significantly reducing the need for manual summarization.

Turning Ideas into Reality

Thanks to its strong coding abilities, Gemini acts as a zero-barrier creative engineer, transforming abstract concepts into interactive digital products .

Autonomous Execution of Complex Tasks

With enhanced instruction-following and tool usage, Gemini 3 can serve as a reliable project manager or personal assistant—capable of executing synchronized, multi-step tasks without straying from the objective.

Google’s most intelligent and reasoning-capable AI model—Gemini 3 Pro—is now fully launched. Naturally, the big question is: how much does this PhD-level intelligence cost?

Free Trial via Google AI Studio

Gemini 3 Pro is available for free trial on Google AI Studio, but non-subscribed users will experience rate limits .

Subscription Plans

For individuals and professionals requiring frequent, high-intensity use of Gemini 3 Pro for complex analysis, Google offers subscription plans for greater access and enhanced features:

• Google AI Pro: $19.99/month – 100 prompts/day
• Google AI Ultra: $249.99/month – 500 prompts/day

Gemini 3 Pro has shaken the market with its PhD-level reasoning and million-token context window, heralding the rise of Agentic AI. However, it still faces several technical and functional limitations. Here are the four major challenges:

API and Feature Limitations

Despite its power, Gemini 3 Pro has API and function support limitations. For example, it does not yet support image segmentation or use in Google Maps or desktop Agent mode .

Free Usage Limits

Although Google offers a free trial of Gemini 3 Pro via Google AI Studio, non-subscribers are limited to 5 prompts/day . For developers, there’s currently no free tier —they are charged per-token.

Restricted Feature Access

Some of Gemini 3 Pro’s most advanced capabilities, such as its enhanced reasoning and agent features, are only available to specific subscription tiers or regions. Meanwhile, Gemini 3 Deep Think is undergoing strict safety evaluations and will first launch to safety testers, then roll out to Google AI Ultra users in the coming weeks.

High Multimodal Resource Usage

While Gemini 3 can handle complex multimodal inputs like text, images, audio, and video, this comes with significant resource demands and increased costs .

Gemini 3 Pro is undoubtedly a top-tier model for multimodal reasoning and agent execution, ideal for complex analysis, coding, and long-term planning. However, if your core need is fast, high-quality content and visual creation, there are specialized AI tools better suited for that purpose.

We recommend trying GenApe—an all-in-one content and image generation platform designed for creators and marketers . It combines image generation and text creation in one place, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tools. This greatly boosts efficiency and consistency across your visual and written content workflows.
