Google Releases Gemini 3 Foundation Model with Record-Breaking Reasoning Capabilities
Google has launched Gemini 3, its most advanced foundation model to date, available immediately through the Gemini app and AI search interface. The model achieved record-breaking benchmark scores, including 37.4 on Humanity's Last Exam and top placement on LMArena, representing a significant advancement in AI reasoning capabilities. Google also released Gemini 3 Deepthink for research and Antigravity, an agentic coding interface for software development.
Skynet Chance (+0.04%): The significant jump in reasoning capabilities and multi-modal agentic abilities (Antigravity) represents increased AI autonomy and decision-making capacity, which could make alignment and control more challenging. However, the mention of safety testing for Deepthink suggests continued focus on risk mitigation.
Skynet Date (-1 days): The rapid advancement in reasoning and autonomous capabilities (released just 7 months after previous version, with agentic coding features) accelerates the timeline toward potentially uncontrollable AI systems. The blistering pace of frontier model development noted in the article (multiple major releases within months) compounds acceleration concerns.
AGI Progress (+0.04%): The record-breaking performance on Humanity's Last Exam benchmark (37.4 vs previous 31.64) and top LMArena ranking demonstrate substantial progress in general reasoning and expertise, key components of AGI. The "massive jump in reasoning" with "depth and nuance" represents meaningful advancement toward human-level general intelligence.
AGI Date (-1 days): The compressed 7-month development cycle between major releases and the significant capability jumps indicate an accelerating pace toward AGI. The widespread deployment to 650 million users and 13 million developers also accelerates the feedback loop and resource investment driving faster AGI development.
