Google has announced significant updates to its Gemini app, affecting users on web, iOS, and Android platforms. The release introduces new language, image, and video models, along with a redesigned mobile view that includes a 'My Stuff' tab for generative creations.
New Models and Features
Gemini 3, previewed as Gemini 3 Pro, is now available, providing an updated default image generator. This new model replaces the older Nano Banana model, although free users can only access a limited number of generations before reverting to the previous model. For video, Veo 3.1 with Ingredients-to-Video is the new default, permitting the upload of up to three images to enhance video prompts and reducing prompt requirements.
Additionally, Nano Banana Pro has been introduced as part of the updates, catering to enhanced user demands.
User Experience and Tools
Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers enjoy higher rate limits for image generation. Google AI Ultra subscribers now have access to the Gemini Agent, a tool designed for controlling actions across Google services while emphasizing user control. Gemini Live enhancements allow for more adaptive, expressive conversations, providing options to customize response speed and tone, highlighting Google's commitment to improving user interaction.
Future Prospects
Safety testing for Gemini 3 Deep Think is underway for Google AI Ultra subscribers. Additionally, Google is planning to release other models of Gemini 3, including lighter-weight variants, and may expand features like the Gemini Agent in forthcoming updates.
