Google has updated its AI lineup with the launch of Gemini 3 Flash, a model built from the ground up for speed. Following last month’s introduction of Gemini 3 Pro, this new version is designed to provide rapid responses, feeling as quick as a standard Google search.

Key Highlights:

  • Default Model: Gemini 3 Flash is now the default option in the Gemini app and for Google Search’s AI Mode worldwide.

  • Speed vs. Complexity: While Gemini 3 Pro remains the choice for complex tasks like coding and advanced math, Gemini 3 Flash is intended for everyday, fast-paced queries.

  • Performance: In benchmark tests, Google states that Gemini 3 Flash significantly outperforms Gemini 2.5 Flash and even matches OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 in certain areas.

  • Efficiency: The model is more resource-efficient, allowing Google to deploy it as the standard fast-response engine.

Integration in Search The update improves Google Search’s AI Mode, helping it better understand nuanced questions and multi-constraint prompts. In the US, users can still access Gemini 3 Pro (labeled as “Thinking with 3 Pro”) for more detailed assistance, including interactive tools and image generation via Nano Banana 3 Pro.
