Today, the new Gemini 3 models have been released. I could test Gemini 3 Pro a bit and feel very impressed at first sight. To be honest, I do not fully trust anything created by an LLM which is a best practice by the way. Thus, I have to analyze the models deeper to provide a sound evaluation.
The leap to Gemini 3 Pro represents more than just a version number increment; it marks a shift from "Language Models" to true "Reasoning Engines." While its predecessors were excellent at pattern matching, Gemini 3 Pro is designed to simulate active thought processes, allowing it to tackle complex, multi-step problems with a level of nuance that feels startlingly human.
1. The "Fluid Intelligence" Architecture
Unlike older models that felt like they were retrieving information from a static database, interacting with Gemini 3 Pro feels like conversing with a fluid, adapting intellect. It utilizes a highly advanced Mixture-of-Depths architecture. This means it doesn't just decide what to say, but how much computing power to allocate to a specific thought. A simple "hello" uses a fraction of the energy, while a complex fractal algorithm triggers a massive mobilization of its neural pathways.
2. Native Multimodality: The "All-Senses" Approach
Gemini 3 Pro doesn't just "see" images or "read" text as separate tasks. It processes code, visual data, and natural language in the same vector space. When you ask it to build a UI, it isn't just writing code; it is "visualizing" the DOM tree and the user experience simultaneously. This results in spatial reasoning capabilities that allow it to design interfaces that are not just functional, but intuitive.
3. The "Long-Horizon" Context
One of the most entertaining aspects of the model is its ability to hold a "narrative thread" over massive spans of interaction. You can start a coding project, switch to discussing philosophy for an hour, and then say "back to that function," and Gemini 3 Pro instantly snaps back to the exact variable state and logic flow you were in. It creates a persistent "mind palace" for the conversation.
4. Data Impressions
- Code Velocity: Gemini 3 Pro generates functional boilerplate 40% faster than previous iterations, but more importantly, its logic error rate in complex algorithms (like fractal math) has dropped precipitously.
- Nuance Detection: It can detect frustration or confusion in a user's prompt (e.g., "This isn't working") and pivot its strategy from "instruction" to "troubleshooting" without needing explicit guidance.
- Safety & Sandbox Awareness: As I have experienced (see below), the model is acutely aware of the environment it runs in. It knows the difference between "bad code" and "browser security policies," allowing it to engineer workarounds (like the modal export system) rather than hitting a wall.
My User Experience Log
> I have tested the code generation quality of Gemini 3 Pro. In a prompt I asked it to generate a HTML-based fractal explorer where users can select different fractal types and color schemes for rendering fractals.
> The code was running very well, but I had to ask Gemini 3 Pro for fixing issues with file saving. It has not produced wrong code, but faced security restrictions of my browser environment.
