Google Launches Gemini 3.1 Pro: Advanced Reasoning, Agentic Workflows, and Deep Ecosystem Integration

Author: Veronika Radoslavskaya

On February 19, 2026, Google detailed the rollout of Gemini 3.1 Pro, its newest core model designed for the web and advanced enterprise applications. Operating within Google's Paid tier, this release delivers a massive leap in abstract reasoning, real-time assistance, and seamless integration with Google's broader multimodal AI ecosystem.

Breakthroughs in Abstract Reasoning

A standout achievement of the Gemini 3.1 Pro release is its performance in complex, abstract problem-solving:

  • ARC-AGI-2 Benchmark: The model achieved a score of 77.1%, which is more than double the 31.1% scored by its predecessor (Gemini 3 Pro) just months ago, officially pushing past average human baselines in this logic-heavy test.
  • Coding and Science: Internal testing indicates that 3.1 Pro delivers significantly improved reliability in autonomous code execution and complex scientific reasoning compared to prior generations, establishing it as a highly capable research agent.

Ecosystem Orchestration

While the Gemini 3.1 Pro model natively focuses on high-quality text generation, rigorous analysis, and real-time reasoning, it acts as the intelligent orchestrator within the broader Gemini platform. Through its interface, users can seamlessly trigger Google's suite of specialized, state-of-the-art models for multimodal creation:

  • Images (Nano Banana): Generates and edits images with high-fidelity text rendering, utilizing text-to-image and multi-image composition capabilities.
  • Video (Veo): Produces high-fidelity videos with natively generated audio, allowing users to extend existing clips or guide generation with reference images.
  • Music (Lyria 3): Generates professional-grade 30-second music tracks, complete with automated lyrics and realistic vocals in multiple languages, all protected by SynthID watermarking.

Gemini Live: Real-Time Mobile Intelligence

For mobile users on Android and iOS (within the Paid tier), the update enhances the Gemini Live conversational mode. This feature shifts the AI from a traditional turn-based chatbot into a free-flowing assistant:

  • Voice and Context: Users can engage in natural, real-time voice conversations that handle interruptions gracefully.
  • Camera and Screen Sharing: The app supports sharing the live phone camera feed to ask questions about physical surroundings, or sharing the screen to get contextual, step-by-step help with active apps.
  • Media Discussion: The model can seamlessly ingest and discuss uploaded files, documents, and YouTube videos.

Agentic Workflows and NotebookLM

Gemini 3.1 Pro is designed to handle heavier, more autonomous enterprise workloads:

  • Google Antigravity: The model serves as the engine for Google's agentic development platform, Antigravity, where it is optimized for complex tool use and code execution workflows.
  • Expanded Limits: The model officially supports a 1-million-token context window and a massively expanded output limit of up to 65,536 (64K) tokens, enabling deep analysis of massive datasets in a single prompt.
  • NotebookLM Integration: Available exclusively for Pro and Ultra subscribers, this expanded capacity allows users to work across large collections of research papers or code repositories to generate long-form, structured reports in fewer steps.
