Interestingly, the title of that PDF calls it "Gemini 3.1 Pro". Guess that's dropping soon.
The rumor was that 3.1 was today's drop
Where are these rumors floating around?

Re: Gemini 3 Deep Think
#92Does anyone actually use Gemini 3 now? I cant stand its sleek salesy way of introduction, and it doesnt hold to instructions hard – makes it unapplicable for MECE breakdowns or for writing.
I dont agree, Gemini 3 is pretty good, even the Lite version.

Weren't we barely scraping 1-10% on this with state of the art models a year ago and it was considered that this is the final boss, ie solve this and its almost AGI-like? I ask because I cannot distinguish all the benchmarks by heart.
Yes, but benchmarks like this are often flawed because leading model labs frequently participate in 'benchmarkmaxxing' - ie improvements on ARC-AGI2 don't necessarily indicate similar improvements in other areas (though it does seem like this is a step function increase in intelligence for the Gemini line of models)
Would be cool to have a benchmark with actually unsolved math and science questions, although I suspect models are still quite a long way from that level.

#94Gemini was awesome and now it’s garbage.
It’s impossible for it to do anything but cut code down, drop features, lose stuff and give you less than the code you put in.
It’s puzzling because it spent months at the head of the pack now I don’t use it at all because why do I want any of those things when I’m doing development.
I’m a paid subscriber but there’s no point any more I’ll spend the money on Claude 4.6 instead.

#95Not trained for agentic workflows yet unfortunately - this looks like it will be fantastic when they have an agent friendly one. Super exciting.
Its really weird how you all are begging to be replaced by llms, you think if agentic workflows get good enough you're going to keep your job? Or not have your salary reduced by 50%? If Agents get good enough it's not going to build some profitable startup for you (or whatever people think they're doing with the llm slot machines) because that implies that anyone else with access to that agent can just copy you, its…

I looked at the file name but not the document title (specifically because I was wondering if this is 3.1). Good spot. edit: they just removed the reference to "3.1" from the pdf
I think this is 3.1 (3.0 Pro with the RL improv of 3.0 Flash). But they probably decided to market it as Deep Think because why not charge more for it.
The Deep Think moniker is for parallel compute models though, not long CoT like pro models.
It's possible though that deep think 3 is running 3.1 models under the hood.

#97The pelican riding a bicycle is excellent . I think it's the best I've seen. https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/12/gemini-3-deep-think/
Highly disagree. I was expecting something more realistic... the true test of what you are doing is how representative is the thing in relation to the real world. E.g. does the pelican look like a pelican as it exists in reality? This cartoon stuff is cute but doesnt pass muster in my view. If it doesn't relate to the real world, then it most likely will have no real effect on the real economy. Pure and simple.
I disagree. The task asks for an SVG; which is a vector format associated with line drawings, clipart and cartoons. I think it's good that models are picking up on that context.
In contrast, the only "realistic" SVGs I've seen are created using tools like potrace, and look terrible.
I also think the prompt itself, of a pelican on bicycle, is unrealistic and cartoonish; so making a cartoon is a good way to solve the task.

The reflection of the sun in the water is completely wrong. LLMs are still useless. (/s)
It's not actually, look up some photos of the sun setting over the ocean. Here's an example:

I don't understand what you want to tell us with this image.

What do you use it for and why? Genuinely curious
