3 Pro is quickly approaching one year old. There's almost no reason to benchmark it, especially since a new version of Gemini Pro was supposed to be released mid 2026 and hasn't seen the light of day.
- MostlyStable 2mo agoThat would make sense if we already knew that, for these kinds of tasks it was significantly worse. The tests that I'm aware of for these tasks show it as still performing near the top.
- tziki 2mo agoI think it definitely makes sense since it's still the best Google has to offer in the "pro" tier.
- bastawhiz 2mo ago3 and 3.1 Pro are both marked as deprecated by Google. Even if they're the best Google offers, it would be foolish to choose a model that's explicitly deprecated. It's not a technical problem, it's a commercial one. If Google can't ship a model to replace the one they deprecated, that tells you everything you need to know about choosing a Gemini model for whatever you're trying to do.
- heaney-555 2mo ago3.1 Pro is not deprecated!
- bastawhiz 2mo agohttps://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/deprecations https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/deprecations That link shows 3.1 pro listed as deprecated with no replacement model.
- qlte 2mo agoNo, that's the "preview" version (gemini-3.1-pro-preview) aka the beta/early version before the official release of 3.1 Pro.

- heaney-555 2mo agoYou are misreading that link. That's a list of all their models. Just like 3.7 Flash, 3.1 Pro says "No shutdown date announced."
