What is Gemini 3.0?
Gemini 3.0, Google's upcoming flagship AI model, will compete directly with OpenAI's GPT-5.
It will follow the Gemini 2.5 series, which launched in early 2025.
Several versions are likely, some optimized for speed and cost-efficiency, while others for performance. If the model line is similar to 2.0 and 2.5, we can expect to see the following:
- Gemini 3.0 Flash
- Gemining 3.0 Pro
- And Gemini 3.0 Image (Nano Banana 2.0)
For this release, Google is hyping up agent-like capabilities and multimodality. This means it will likely improve its ability to understand the type of request, whether it’s for images, videos, text, or code, within a unified chatbot interface.
Recently, two stealth models, lithiumflow and orionmist, appeared on LMArena, and many people think that this could be Gemini 3.0 stealth testing before release.
Here’s how these models compare in the benchmarks so far:
| Benchmark |
Gemini 3.0 (lithiumflow)* |
Gemini 3.0 (orionmist)* |
Gemini 2.5 Pro |
Claude Opus 4.1 |
Claude 3.7 Sonnet |

When is Gemini 3.0 Release Date?
Gemini 3.0 is likely to be released in November or December of 2025. Here's what we know so far:
- Google has confirmed Gemini 3.0 will launch in 2025, but hasn't provided a specific date.
- Historically, Google releases new Gemini versions in December. This pattern suggests a late 2025 launch window, though the company may break from tradition this year.
- Rumors circulated in October claiming the model would drop on October 22, but that date came and went without a release. More recent speculation points to a launch window between November 15 and December 5, though these remain unverified claims.
What Can We Expect From Gemini 3.0?
Experts believe that Gemini 3.0 will improve in reasoning and coding, as well as agent-like functionality. However, we should temper our expectations and not anticipate a generational leap.
Exciting, albeit unverified, rumors suggest that the model will be able to handle real-time, 60 fps video processing and have built-in deep reasoning with response times under one second for the Flash variant.
Is Google Going to Release Nano Banana 2.0?
Yes! It's almost certain that Google will release Nano Banana 2.0 alongside the launch of Gemini 3.0. Some sources suggest that early access will start in November 2025, with a general release rolling into early 2026.
The original Nano Banana, officially called Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, launched in August 2025 and quickly became the most popular image generator. It is also the most widely used AI image model on Overchat AI by far.
So, what can we expect from the next generation of Nano Banana?
- Better editing
- Better adherence to prompts
- More accurate blending of multiple images
- More consistent results with long sequence prompt chains and multi-step editing
- Generation speeds about 15% faster than the 2.5 Flash version

FAQs
What is Gemini 3.0?
Gemini 3.0 is Google's next-generation AI model set to launch in 2025. It's designed to outperform Gemini 2.5 Pro with enhanced reasoning capabilities and agent-like functionality for handling complex, multimodal tasks.
When is Gemini 3.0 release date?
Google confirmed Gemini 3.0 will launch in 2025, with CEO Sundar Pichai announcing the timeline during the Q3 2025 earnings call. Historically, Google releases new Gemini versions in December, though rumors suggest a launch window between November 15 and December 5.
What is Nano Banana 2.0?
Nano Banana 2.0 is expected to be the image generation component of Gemini 3.0 Pro Media.io, building on the success of the original Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) that launched in August 2025.
Where can I access Gemini 3.0?
Gemini 3.0 will be accessible through Google's official platforms including the Gemini app, Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and Vertex AI. It will also be available through third-party platforms like Overchat AI.
Which is better: Gemini 3.0 or GPT-5?
Direct comparison isn't possible yet as neither Gemini 3.0 nor GPT-5 has been publicly released. Gemini 2.5 Pro already outperformed competitors like OpenAI's o3-mini on benchmarks including GPQA Diamond and AIME 2024, and Gemini 3.0 is expected to extend that lead.
How much does Gemini 3.0 cost?
Google hasn't announced pricing for Gemini 3.0 yet. Pricing details will likely be revealed closer to the official launch date and may vary between consumer, developer, and enterprise tiers.
Is Nano Banana free?
The original Nano Banana is integrated into the Gemini app Google, which offers both free and paid tiers. API access uses token-based pricing. Nano Banana 2.0 pricing hasn't been announced but will likely follow a similar model.
What is the difference between Gemini Pro and Gemini Flash?
Gemini Pro is the top-tier model offering maximum performance and capabilities, while Gemini Flash prioritizes speed and efficiency for use cases that don't require full computational power. Both variants are typically released together.
Will Gemini 3.0 have image generation?
Yes, Gemini 3.0 is expected to include Nano Banana 2.0 for advanced image generation and editing capabilities, building on the multimodal architecture of previous Gemini models.
Bottom Line
Google is preparing to release Gemini 3.0, its next-generation AI model, before the end of 2025. Many experts anticipate the release will occur as early as November of this year. The next-generation image editing model, Nano Banana 2, is also expected to be released around the same time. Improvements will mostly focus on coding and reasoning, and Nano Banana 2 is expected to be more accurate and faster overall. As soon as these models are released, you’ll be able to access them on Overchat AI.
