Google has just released Gemini 3, its smartest AI model yet, promising better understanding of complex questions, cutting-edge coding, and interactive visualizations. It’s available right now in the Gemini app and search engine, and users on social media are praising its speed and usability — though some have pointed out its occasional laziness. It’s a new step in the battle with OpenAI and Anthropic, where AI is evolving faster than ever.
Imagine an AI that not only answers but actually understands complex questions, writes code like a seasoned programmer, and turns a simple photo into an interactive app. Google has done just that with Gemini 3—and at a time when AI models are improving faster than anyone can keep up. It’s no wonder Google is confident it’s back in the lead. But in this race, no one rests for long.
What does Gemini 3 bring?
Gemini 3 is designed for deeper thinking and better accuracy. The model is better at handling long contexts, requires less repetition of instructions, and can more easily solve complex tasks without additional guidance.
In practice, this means: improvements in coding (can build an entire application from a single description), multimodal processing (simultaneously understanding text, images, and video), and interactive content creation. In Gemini, you can now create programs with live visualizations in the Canvas tool, and the model automatically adapts responses based on the context of the conversation.
In Google's search engine, Gemini 3 runs an advanced AI Mode, where it breaks down a question into parts, finds relevant sources, and presents the answer with interactive elements - graphs, tables, or simulations. For developers, the new Antigravity platform and Gemini CLI tool are available, which allow you to work with the model locally on a PC.
How does it compare to the competition?
Gemini 3 comes seven months after the previous major release and directly responds to recent releases from OpenAI (GPT-5 series) and Anthropic (Claude 4.5). According to Google's benchmarks, the model leads in the areas of general intelligence, web development, and complex scientific tasks. According to Google, its multimodal capabilities are currently the best on the market.
Still, the challenges remain the same as with all large models: occasional inaccuracies, dependence on the quality of input data, and privacy concerns. Google emphasizes extensive security testing, but some independent analyses still uncover vulnerabilities.
What do users and experts say?
Immediately after its release, the first reviews of the X platform appeared. Many praise the speed and quality of the code – some compare it to tools like Cursor and claim that Gemini 3 is currently better. Others highlight more natural and less “artsy” responses compared to previous models. Of course, there was no shortage of criticism: some note that the model sometimes still requires more prompts than expected, or that it avoids certain topics due to security filters.
The overall impression is positive – users are already calling it a tool that actually saves time in everyday work.
Availability and price
Gemini 3 is available immediately in the Gemini app and Google Search. The basic version remains free, while advanced features are part of the Google One AI Premium subscription.
The current price for a Google One AI Premium subscription is €19.99 ($19.99) per month. Higher plans for businesses and researchers have separate pricing - see the official Google One page for details. In some regions, Google is still offering a promotional free year for existing subscribers.
Conclusion
Gemini 3 proves that artificial intelligence is evolving at an incredible pace. For everyday users, this means better search and assistance with everyday tasks, and for developers, tools that really speed up their work. Of course, this is still a developing technology - perfection is not in sight, but the steps are getting bigger. If you are curious about what Google's latest model can do, just try it out. The next major update is probably just around the corner.
