It may feel like yesterday that Google released Gemini 3 Pro, but it’s back with another update—Gemini 3.1 Pro—featuring big improvements and impressive benchmarks.
“3.1 Pro is designed for tasks where a simple answer isn’t enough, taking advanced reasoning and making it useful for your hardest challenges,” Google says. “This improved intelligence can help in practical applications—whether you’re looking for a clear, visual explanation of a complex topic, a way to synthesize data into a single view, or bringing a creative project to life.”
Benchmarking results from the ARC-AGI-2 test show that 3.1 Pro beats the existing Gemini option by a factor of two in abstract reasoning puzzles. It also beats its rivals’ models with a score of 77.1% versus 52.9% for GPT-5.2 and 68.8% for Claude Opus 4.6. Overall, Google beat the competition from Claude and OpenAI across 12 of 19 benchmarks.
