Good news if you use Google’s AI chat: the new Gemini 3 Flash model is here, and you can start using it right now for free.
Google launched Gemini 3 Flash yesterday. Today it’s rolling out wide. It’s now the default model in the Gemini app on your phone or web. That means when you open the app and ask questions, you’re already chatting with the new, smarter version.
No need to pay or sign up extra. If you have the free Gemini account, you get Gemini 3 Flash automatically. It replaces the older 2.5 Flash model.
What’s new? This version is much faster and smarter. Google says it’s built for quick answers but still handles tough stuff like coding, math, and understanding pictures or videos.
It beats the old models on tests and even edges out some rivals in speed and smarts. Big companies like Figma and JetBrains are already using it for their tools.
For everyday users, chats feel quicker and more helpful. Try planning a trip, explaining a hard topic, or fixing code, it should do better than before.
It’s also the new default in Google Search’s AI Mode. Your search summaries might get sharper too.
Bottom line: just open the Gemini app today. You’re already trying the new Gemini 3 Flash for free. No switches needed.
