Google launches Gemini 3.1 Pro with major reasoning boost and top benchmark scores at the same price.
Google has released Gemini 3.1 Pro, a big upgrade that improves reasoning, beats top benchmarks, and keeps the same API price as the previous version.
Gemini 3.1 Pro scored 77.1% on the ARC AGI 2 reasoning test, up from 31.1% on Gemini 3 Pro. It also outperformed Opus 4.6 at 68.8% and GPT 5.2 at 52.9%.
The model ranks first in benchmarks for science tasks, competitive coding, MCP use, and agent style search, showing strong overall performance.
Pricing stays the same as 3 Pro, with a 1 million token context window, and remains cheaper than similar top models from Anthropic and OpenAI.
