As of February 2026, the models powering Google Gemini include: Consumer / General Gemini (gemini.google.com & Mobile App) •Primary Model: Gemini 3 Pro is the default engine for the Gemini app. It delivers advanced reasoning, planning, and long-context understanding. •Performance Tier: Gemini 3 Flash powers the standard "fast" mode and Google Search integration. It is optimized for high-speed responses and low-latency interactions. •Specialized Reasoning: Gemini 3 Deep Think is available for Google AI Ultra subscribers. It is designed specifically for complex scientific, mathematical, and engineering challenges. •Grounding: It features "Grounding with Google Search," ensuring responses are cross-referenced with real-time web data.
Gemini for Google Workspace (Business & Enterprise) •Core Integration: It primarily uses Gemini 3 Pro to assist with drafting in Docs, summarizing threads in Gmail, and analyzing data in Sheets. •Workspace Studio: This is a dedicated environment for building custom AI agents and automated workflows. It utilizes both Pro and Flash variants depending on task complexity. •Creative Assets: It uses Imagen 4 (Ultra and Fast variants) for high-fidelity image generation and Veo 3.1 for cinematic video creation within professional presentations. •Enterprise Privacy: All interactions are protected by enterprise-grade security. Workspace data is not used to train Google’s foundation models.
Gemini for Developers & Cloud (Vertex AI / Google AI Studio) •High-Throughput Models: Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite are used for massive-scale processing and high-volume agentic use cases. •Multimodal API: It supports real-time bidirectional streaming through the Gemini Live API, allowing for "affective dialogue" and low-latency voice/video interaction. •Coding Specialization: Gemini Code Assist utilizes specialized models trained on vast repositories of code and Google Cloud-specific documentation to provide hyper-relevant technical help.
Supplementary & On-Device Models •Gemini Nano: This is a lightweight version designed for on-device processing (Pixel, Android, and Chrome). It enables features like "Nano Banana" for instant image editing without sending data to the cloud. •Lifecycle Management: Google maintains a strict deprecation schedule for older versions (like Gemini 2.0/2.5 previews) to ensure developers always have access to the most secure and efficient iterations.
