    Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro expanding to more searchers

    Gemini 3 is available in 120 countries in English, after launching in the U.S. just a couple of weeks ago.

    Gemini 3 launched in AI Mode just a couple of weeks ago. Now Google is rolling it out to about 120 countries and territories for English queries. Google’s Robby Stein said:

    • “Gemini 3 is now available in AI Mode, across nearly 120 countries & territories in English.”

    What is AI Mode with Gemini 3. AI Mode with Gemini 3 lets Google Search generate richer, more dynamic answers. It now uses Gemini 3 to create immersive visual layouts, interactive tools, and real-time simulations – all built instantly from your query.

    • Gemini 3 powers AI Mode in Search with more complex reasoning and new dynamic experiences.
    • Just last week, Google began automatically using Gemini 3 for some AI Mode queries.

    This is still limited to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Google added:

    • “With this expansion, it’s now easier to ask anything and instantly get a richer, more helpful understanding.”

    Nano Banana Pro update. Google also added it is bringing the “latest generative imagery model, Nano Banana Pro, to AI Mode in more countries in English, starting today with Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.”

    Why we care. Google will keep releasing visual, experience, and model updates to AI Mode. The company is steadily pushing more searchers into AI Mode and working to improve the experience.
