Google releases Gemini 3 – it already powers AI Mode

Google announced the release of its latest AI model update, Gemini 3. “And now we’re introducing Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, that combines all of Gemini’s capabilities together so you can bring any idea to life,” Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai wrote.

Gemini 3 is now being used in AI Mode in Search with more complex reasoning and new dynamic experiences. “This is the first time we are shipping Gemini in Search on day one,” Sundar Pichai said.

AI Mode with Gemini 3. Google shared how AI Mode in Search is now using Gemini 3 to enable new generative UI experiences like immersive visual layouts and interactive tools and simulations, all generated completely on the fly based on your query.

Here is a video of showing how RNA polymerase works with generative UI in AI Mode in Search.

Robby Stein, VP of Product at Google Search said:

“In Search, Gemini 3 with generative layouts will make it easy to get a rich understanding of anything on your mind. It has state-of-the-art reasoning, deep multimodal understanding and advanced agentic capabilities. That allows the model to shine when you ask it to explain advanced concepts or ideas – it reasons and can code interactive visuals in real-time. It can tackle your toughest questions like advanced science.”

More Gemini 3. Google added that Gemini 3 has:

• State-of-the-art reasoning
• Deep multimodal understanding

• Improved agentic capabilities, so it can get things done on your behalf, at your direction

Availability. Gemini 3 is now rolling out, yes, in AI Mode but here also:

• For everyone in the Gemini app and for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in AI Mode in Search
• For developers in the Gemini API in AI Studio, our new agentic development platform, Google Antigravity; and Gemini CLI

Why we care. Gemini 3 is currently powering AI Mode, the future of Google Search. It will continue to power more and more search features within Google, as well as other areas within Google’s platforms.

Being on top of these changes and how they impact search and your site and maybe Google Ads is important.
