Definition
Plain language
Google's family of AI models.
As stated in the literature
Google DeepMind's multimodal LLM family, spanning Flash (fast, cheaper) and Pro (stronger) tiers.
Also called: Gemini 2.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 3, Gemini 3.1, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini three Flash, Gemini three Pro, Gemini three-point-one, Gemini-3.1-flash-lite
Why it matters: It's one of the three or four model families that define the current capability frontier, and many academic comparisons include it as a baseline.
For example, Gemini 3 Pro powers Google's AI Studio chat experience and is one of the default frontier models in coding-agent benchmarks.
