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).

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.

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

Google today unveiled Gemini 3, a major upgrade to its flagship multimodal model. The firm says the new model is better at reasoning, has more fluid multimodal capabilities (the ability to work across voice, text or images), and will work like an agent.

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

Analysts are optimistic that Gemini 3 will accelerate Google’s user adoption and revenue growth, proving the company’s ability to monetize its AI investments.

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