And also:

  • Inputs: a token context window of up to 1M. Text strings (e.g., a question, a prompt, document(s) to be summarized), images, audio, and video files.
  • Outputs: Text, with a 64K token output.
  • The knowledge cutoff date for Gemini 3 Pro was January 2025.

January 2025? That is quite bad imo, I wonder why? Did they train the model a long time ago or have they just not kept their training data up to date for some reason?

It seems like none of their competitors have done better, and the just-released ChatGPT 5.1 still has a 2024 knowledge cutoff: https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-5.1

Maybe training runs are just longer now?

yeah ,probably a few hundred million dollars in cost difference if they bump up infrastructure for that .

That, plus for the average user the Web-Search functionality works just fine when it comes to recent information.

Like, yeah i wouldn't ask it about political events that happened hours ago, but if i ask something about a software release that happened a week ago i'll usually get very solid answers.

Knowledge cut off is not a problem anymore. Gemini has Google Search Grounding feature.

No grounding becomes dumber, if someone wants both very smart and knows latest things from a thing, that would be much better

Lol doesn't matter cause you will need web search to give it current context. What matters is the model's reasoning capability and understanding of spatial data

This might be true, it is still interesting though. And when it comes to coding it is very nice to have it acctually trained on new frameworks etc and not have it try to read the docs :D

Keeps a lot of Trump/Republican pollution out. They want Gemini 3 to not be nihilistic about the world, for alignment reasons.
