Google rolls out Gemini Flash 3 as the standard AI model in Search

Google introduces Gemini Flash 3, barely a month after the launch of Gemini 3 and Gemini 3 Pro.

Google has introduced Gemini Flash 3 as the new standard model for Search in AI Mode. The model should deliver faster and smarter AI answers within the search experience and provide better quality results faster than its predecessor.

Better search results

According to Google, Gemini 3 Flash combines the reasoning power of its more powerful Gemini 3 models with the speed and efficiency needed for the search function. The model is said to better understand complex questions without requiring more response time. Google also says that the model is suitable for tasks that require multiple steps, such as summarizing or comparing information from different sources.

Support for different media

Gemini 3 Flash can handle text, images, audio, and video. Within Search, the model can analyze visual information and better respond to questions requiring spatial or visual insight. This should help in understanding and exploring more complex topics.

For users in the United States, Google is simultaneously expanding access to its more powerful Pro models. These offer additional AI tools to visually explore and further delve into topics.

Also in Google Antigravity

In addition to Search, Google is also integrating Gemini 3 Flash into Google Antigravity, the tech giant’s experimental AI work environment. Google states that thanks to its strong performance in reasoning, tool usage, and multimodal performance, developers can get started with it smoothly.

According to Google, the model is fast enough to keep up with the user’s thought process. This makes it suitable for interactive workflows in which humans and AI work together.
