Google’s Gemini 3 Pro powers AI Mode with deeper reasoning, upgraded query fan-out, and new generative layouts. Gemini 3 Pro is available now in Google Search AI Mode for subscribers in the U.S. Google says the update boosts its query fan-out system so it can surface content it may have missed before. New generative UI features in AI Mode can create dynamic visual layouts.
Google has implemented Gemini 3 into Search’s AI Mode. This is the first time that Google has shipped a Gemini model to Search on its release date. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the United States can get Gemini 3 Pro by selecting “Thinking” from the model choice in AI Mode. Google plans to expand Gemini 3 in AI Mode to all U.S. users soon, with higher usage limits for Pro and Ultra subscribers.
What’s New Search Updates
Google describes Gemini 3 as a model with cutting-edge reasoning and extensive multimodal comprehension.
Its purpose in Search is to explain sophisticated concepts, go through complicated enquiries, and support interactive visuals that run immediately within AI Mode responses.
With Gemini 3, Google claims AI Mode has essentially redesigned what a “helpful response” looks like.
Instead of simply providing a block of text, AI Mode can create a response layout based on your query. This involves determining when to display graphics, tables, or other organised features to make the response clearer and easier to deal with.
Generative UI
Gemini 3 in AI Mode introduces generative UI features that build dynamic visual layouts around your query.
The model analyzes your question and constructs a custom response using visual elements such as images, tables, and grids. When an interactive tool would help, Gemini 3 can generate a small app in real time and embed it directly in the answer.
Why This Matters
Gemini 3 alters how your content is discovered and utilised in AI Mode. With deeper query fan-out, Google can access more pages per question, potentially influencing which sites get referenced or linked during lengthy, difficult searches.
The revised layouts and interactive features affect how links look on your screen. On-page tools, explainers, and visualisations may now compete directly with Google’s own interface.
As Gemini 3 becomes more widely available, it will be critical to monitor how your material is shown or referenced in AI responses, as well as traditional search rankings.
Looking Ahead
Google says it will continue refining these updates based on feedback as more people try the new tools. Automatic model selection is set to arrive in the coming weeks for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S, with broader U.S. access to Gemini 3 in AI Mode planned but not yet scheduled.
