Gemini 3.1 Pro — a native multimodal model for complex reasoning and coding
Million-token context
Image, text, audio & video
Adjustable thinking depth
More reliable tool orchestration
What is Gemini 3.1 Pro?
Gemini 3.1 Pro is Google’s higher-capability Gemini 3 model from February 2026. It’s built for work that needs image, text, audio, and video in the same reasoning pass—and for multi-file coding plus multi-step tool orchestration. Versus Gemini 3 Pro Preview, real-world coding and tool reliability improve, with a medium thinking depth added. For high-turnaround everyday coding, compare Gemini 3.6 Flash. On iMini Agent, pick Gemini 3.1 Pro to use it.

What’s new versus Gemini 3 Pro Preview
Real-world coding, agent reliability, and thinking levels—the changes to check before treating it as your Pro pick.
Stronger real-world coding
Google highlights gains on SWE and real engineering scenarios versus 3 Pro Preview—suited to complex repos and multi-step fixes.
More reliable agent orchestration
Tool calls and multi-step workflows hold up better—suited to finishing long jobs in one thread.
Finer thinking depth
Adds a medium thinking level so you can sit between speed and depth.
More complete multimodal reasoning
Text, images, video, audio, and code materials can enter the same reasoning process—suited to complex delivery.
Official evaluations
The evaluation scoreboard Google DeepMind published on the Gemini 3.1 Pro product page, shown against Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5.2, and peers.
Multi-task overview. ARC-AGI-2 77.1%, GPQA Diamond 94.3%, LiveCodeBench Pro Elo 2887, MCP Atlas 69.2%, BrowseComp 85.9%—several above on-screen peers; SWE-Bench Verified 80.6% is close to Claude Opus 4.6. Methods are on DeepMind’s evaluation page.

Three common workflows
Gemini 3.1 Pro fits complex work that needs the Pro ceiling.
Complex agent coding
For multi-file changes, hard-to-reproduce bugs, and tool orchestration. A strong Pro pick on the Google stack.
Multimodal professional analysis
For conclusions that pull in charts, video clips, and long docs. Cite evidence and hard constraints.
Long-context decision memos
For collapsing million-token materials into one page you can decide on: options, recommendation, and risks.
How to choose vs Gemini 3.6 Flash and Claude Opus 5
All three are modern primary picks. The gap is mainly product stack, Flash vs Pro ceiling, and which jobs you run most.
