Google has launched Gemini 3 Flash, enhancing the AI Mode in Search for faster, more intelligent responses. This update aims to provide “PhD-level” reasoning with minimal wait times, efficiently addressing complex queries like planning trips or simplifying difficult concepts. Users in the U.S. can now access the “Thinking with 3 Pro” mode, which offers in-depth responses, dynamic visual layouts, and interactive tools for the toughest questions.
Additionally, the new Nano Banana Pro feature enables high-fidelity image generation, producing factually accurate infographics and technical illustrations directly within Google Search. The rollout of Gemini 3 Flash is global, while Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro are exclusive to U.S. users.
For Google AI Pro or Ultra subscribers, higher usage limits apply. This evolution marks a significant shift from traditional link-based searches to a proactive visual research assistant. To enhance your experience, consider joining Chrome Unboxed Plus for exclusive community benefits.
