Alright team, Google just surprise-dropped Gemini 3, and honestly? The AI race scoreboard just got erased and rewritten in real time.
So here’s the headline: Gemini 3 didn’t just improve — it obliterated every benchmark in sight.
The model pulled a 37.4 on Humanity’s Last Exam, the big reasoning benchmark everyone obsesses over. For context, the previous record was 31.64 from GPT-5 Pro.
And just to flex even harder, it also took the #1 spot on LMArena, the human-run benchmark that basically measures “which model actually feels smartest to real people.”
Now here’s where it gets spicy…
Google didn’t just drop a model. They dropped an entire coding environment called Antigravity.
Think of it as an AI co-dev that lives across multiple panels at once. You get:
A ChatGPT-style chat window for natural-language instructions
A built-in terminal for live execution
A real-time browser window showing changes instantly
So basically Warp + Cursor 2.0., but fused together with Google-level agentic superpowers.
According to DeepMind’s CTO:
“The agent can work with your editor, your terminal, your browser — all at once — to help you build your application in the best way possible.”
And yes — the timing is absolutely intentional.
Google launched Gemini 3 less than a week after OpenAI pushed GPT-5.1. So yeah, the pace right now is cartoonishly fast. But based on benchmarks alone?
Gemini 3 might’ve just pulled ahead in reasoning and coding-assist power.
And the ecosystem? It’s becoming its own gravitational field.
650 million people now use the Gemini app every month.
13 million developers have it wired into their workflow.
At that scale, every upgrade hits like a shockwave.
Want to try it out?
You can find it inside the Gemini app and the AI search interface.
Plus, a more research-intensive version — Gemini 3 Deepthink — is coming soon for Google AI Ultra subscribers (after more safety testing).
The big picture?
Between the record-breaking scores, the wild new agentic coding app, and the rapid-fire timing… it genuinely feels like we’re watching the next round of the AI frontier race kick off live — and Google just came out swinging.
