Gemini 3.1 Pro vs o3 Pro

Gemini 3.1 Pro

Google DeepMind

Gemini 3.1 Pro is a multimodal language model from Google DeepMind, released in preview in February 2026 as a point-version upgrade to Gemini 3 Pro focused on improving reasoning depth, factual grounding, and coding and agentic task performance. The model accepts text, images, video, audio, and PDFs as inputs across a 1M token context window, extending the multimodal breadth of the Gemini 3 series with a companion endpoint specifically optimized for custom tool use in agentic pipelines. Google describes it as built to refine the reliability and performance of the Gemini 3 Pro series, reflecting an incremental engineering iteration rather than an architectural overhaul.

o3 Pro

OpenAI

OpenAI o3-pro, released by OpenAI in June 2025, is an extended reasoning model from the o3 family that applies more compute per response to deliver deeper, more thorough answers on complex problems. It features a 200K token context window, 100K maximum output tokens, and vision capabilities. o3-pro targets research-grade reasoning tasks, extended coding sessions, and applications where accuracy on difficult problems justifies higher inference cost and latency.
