Google has accelerated its Gemini AI rollout with the release of Gemini 3 Pro, a model that delivers richer visual outputs, higher factual accuracy, and stronger reasoning across text, images, and video. The company also introduced Antigravity, an AI‑first integrated development environment designed to boost coding productivity. Gemini 3 sets new performance records on several benchmarks, including SimpleQA Verified, Humanity’s Last Exam, MathArena Apex, and SWE‑bench Verified, underscoring Google’s push toward artificial general intelligence. The combined launch signals a major step forward for Google’s AI ecosystem, spanning search, email, and developer tools.
Google expands Gemini family with Gemini 3 Pro
Google has intensified its Gemini rollout, following the earlier release of the Gemini 2.5 family. The latest addition, Gemini 3 Pro, is now available in a limited form. According to Google, the new model offers more immersive visual outputs and a marked reduction in factual errors. It also expands simulated reasoning abilities, improving its understanding of text, images, and video.
Performance breakthroughs on key benchmarks
Gemini 3 sets new records on a range of tests. In the SimpleQA Verified test, it achieved a score of 72.1 percent, surpassing previous generations despite still missing about 30 percent of general‑knowledge questions. On the Humanity’s Last Exam, a PhD‑level assessment, the model reached 37.5 percent without tool use. MathArena Apex saw a 23.4 percent score, while WebDev Arena recorded an ELO of 1487. In the SWE‑bench Verified coding benchmark, Gemini 3 attained 76.2 percent, highlighting its coding capabilities.
Antigravity: an AI‑first integrated development environment
Alongside Gemini 3, Google announced Antigravity, an AI‑first integrated development environment (IDE). The IDE is designed to streamline coding workflows by leveraging the model’s advanced code‑generation abilities. Antigravity is available today, positioning Google as a provider of both powerful AI models and developer‑focused tools.
Strategic implications for Google’s AI ecosystem
The release of Gemini 3 and Antigravity reflects Google’s broader strategy to embed AI across its product portfolio, from Search and Gmail to developer tools. By delivering higher factual accuracy and stronger reasoning, Google aims to move closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI). The new model’s benchmark achievements and the launch of an AI‑centric IDE underscore the company’s commitment to making AI increasingly indispensable for both consumers and developers.
