Mountain View, California — Google has expanded its artificial intelligence ecosystem with the launch of Gemini 3, a major upgrade that brings stronger reasoning capabilities, deeper multimodal understanding, and enhanced creative tools. At the same time, the tech giant is facing regulatory pressure after a U.S. court ruling targeting its search dominance.
⭐ Gemini 3 and “Deep Think” Mode Announced
Google’s latest model, Gemini 3, is now rolling out across multiple Google services, including the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, and Google Workspace tools.
A key highlight is Deep Think Mode, a premium feature designed for highly complex tasks such as coding, logical reasoning, research, and multi-step problem-solving. Google describes it as its “strongest reasoning system yet.”
⭐ AI Mode Expanded to More Countries
Google is expanding AI Mode in Search to more regions and languages. Users in over a hundred countries — including India — can now access richer responses powered by Gemini 3.
Key upgrades include:
- Interactive answers directly inside Google Search
- Improved follow-up questions
- New visual and layout capabilities using Google’s latest image and graphics models

⭐ Nano Banana Pro Model Raises Concerns
While Google’s new image-generation system, Nano Banana Pro, aims to deliver high-fidelity visuals within Search, it also sparked criticism after some AI-generated images were accused of reflecting biased and culturally insensitive visuals.
Google stated that it is reviewing these concerns and working on improved safeguards across its AI image pipeline.
⭐ Free Users Face New Limits
Due to rapidly increasing demand for Gemini, Google has adjusted usage for free-tier users. Instead of fixed daily limits, free accounts now get “basic access”, which may vary depending on server load and system availability.
This move encourages heavy users to upgrade to Gemini Advanced or Google AI Ultra.
⭐ U.S. Court Limits Google’s Default Search Deals
In a major antitrust decision, a U.S. federal judge has ruled that Google can no longer sign multi-year default search agreements with device makers and browser companies. Contracts must now be limited to one year only.
This ruling could open the door for rival search engines and AI assistants to compete for default placement on smartphones, browsers, and laptops.
⭐ What This Means for Users & Creators
- Everyday users will see smarter, more conversational search results.
- Developers and professionals gain access to stronger reasoning tools through Gemini 3 and Deep Think.
- Publishers and content creators may experience shifts in traffic patterns as AI summaries become more prominent in Search.
- Competitors may gain newfound opportunities to challenge Google in search and AI ecosystems.
Conclusion
Google is moving aggressively toward an AI-first future, integrating Gemini deeply into search, productivity, and creative tools. However, the recent court ruling shows that regulators are watching closely — and the future of search competition may be more open than ever.
