Mostly a family name now: the original 3 Pro preview is shut down, and anyone building should look at 3.1 Pro instead.

Kenning's take

What it does

Gemini 3 is Google's model family that began with Gemini 3 Pro in preview and the Deep Think reasoning mode in November 2025. It shipped the same day in the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, AI Studio, Vertex AI and Google Antigravity. The original 3 Pro preview was shut down in the API in March 2026 and replaced by Gemini 3.1 Pro, while later Flash, Live and TTS releases carry the 3.x name.

  • Gemini 3 Pro launched in preview
  • Deep Think enhanced reasoning mode
  • Same-day launch in AI Mode in Search
  • Available in Antigravity, Gemini CLI and third-party coding tools

Who it suits. Anyone using the Gemini app or building on Google's models.
