Google: Gemini 3 Pro
Gemini 3 Pro is a previous Gemini 3 Pro Preview snapshot, not the live Gemini default. Rechecked 2026-08-18: ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models now leads with Gemini 3.7 Flash and marks Gemini 3 Pro Preview shut down. A leftover dedicated card still exists. Drop leftover world's best multimodal / frontier of vision AI.
Compare Gemini 3.7 Flash if you wanted the live Flash path ($0.75/$3.75 through 2026-12-31, then $1.50/$7.50), leftover Gemini 3.6 Flash if you wanted the previous-generation Flash row, and leftover Gemini 3.5 Flash if you wanted the earlier Flash slug.
Key Features
- Previous 3 Pro Preview: Live docs mark the Preview ID shut down. Recheck the models index before you hard-code it.
- Not the 2026 Gemini lead: New Flash work starts at Gemini 3.7 Flash.
- Not a vision crown: Leftover copy called it the world's best multimodal model. That claim is out.
- Website is the models index: Point at the live Gemini models page until a live 3 Pro replacement is the better first-party URL.
Use Cases
- People with a Gemini 3 Pro bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
- People comparing leftover 3 Pro Preview vs leftover 3.6 Flash vs live 3.7 Flash.
- People who were about to paste world's-best vision AI into a 2026 deck.
Limitation: We did not invent a live 2026 3 Pro dollar row. The leftover dedicated card still prints a Preview price; the models index marks that Preview shut down.
Pricing
First-party pages on 2026-08-18.
