Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has announced a significant upgrade to its specialized Gemini Deep Think AI model, equipping it with advanced capabilities to assist researchers in complex mathematics, science, and engineering fields. This enhancement aims to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application.
The updated model, named Gemini 3 Deep Think, is engineered for high-level, multi-step reasoning. It leverages Google Search to ensure the accuracy of its outputs and reduce wrongful citations, a common challenge in AI-driven research.
A Leap In Scientific Reasoning
Developed in collaboration with researchers, Gemini 3 Deep Think is designed to be a powerful tool for scientists and engineers. It can assist in complex problem-solving across various disciplines, including chemistry, computer science, and physics. The model is capable of handling sophisticated tasks such as generating 3D-printable models directly from sketches, showcasing its ability to process and act on complex instructions.
Benchmarking Success
The upgraded model has demonstrated exceptional performance on rigorous industry benchmarks. It achieved a score of 48.4% on “Humanity’s Last Exam” without external tools and 84.6% on ARC-AGI-2, highlighting its advanced reasoning capabilities. Furthermore, Deep Think achieved gold-medal standards on the written sections of the 2025 International Physics and Chemistry Olympiads, solidifying its position as a leading AI for scientific inquiry.
Introducing Aletheia The Autonomous Agent
Alongside the model upgrade, Google has developed Aletheia, an autonomous research agent designed to collaborate with human scientists. Aletheia can work alongside researchers and, crucially, is able to recognize when it cannot solve a given problem, a feature intended to improve research efficiency and prevent wasted effort on incorrect paths.
Implications For The MENA Tech Ecosystem
For the MENA region’s rapidly growing tech landscape, the availability of advanced tools like Gemini 3 Deep Think presents a significant opportunity. Startups and researchers at institutions like KAUST or Khalifa University can leverage this technology to accelerate R&D in critical sectors such as clean energy, water desalination, and advanced materials. Access via the Gemini API allows regional AI startups to build specialized applications on top of a world-class reasoning engine, potentially creating a new wave of deep-tech solutions tailored for local and global markets. This development also raises the competitive bar, encouraging local players to innovate and contribute to the global AI advancement.
Availability And Access
Gemini 3 Deep Think is now accessible to subscribers of Google AI Ultra through the Gemini app. Select partners can also access its capabilities through the Gemini API, enabling broader integration into custom research and development workflows.
