Google has pushed Gemini 3 Pro across its consumer and developer platforms, dropping the model into the Gemini app, Google Search’s AI Mode and other products across the company’s cloud stack in a single sweep.

In the app, the model sits behind the “Thinking” option and is open to all users, with higher limits for paid tiers. Answers are reported to be tighter and better structured. More importantly, it unlocks Gemini Agent, a task-runner built on last year’s Project Mariner. Once granted access to Google apps, it can handle chores directly — managing email instead of just suggesting how.

Search has also received a major upgrade. Gemini 3 Pro goes live first for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers inside AI Mode and will also power AI Overviews for the hardest queries. A new routing system (due soon), will decide when a question is sent to the upgraded model. For now, subscribers can trigger it by selecting “Thinking” in AI Mode.

Google argues the model strengthens the “fan-out” technique behind AI Mode by running broader, deeper searches and surfacing material earlier versions overlooked. Better multimodal analysis should also produce more functional answers; researching personal loans, for example, could return an embedded calculator rather than a wall of text.

The company is leaning on benchmark gains to anchor the launch. On benchmarking platform Humanity’s Last Exam, the model hit 37.5 percent accuracy, topping Grok 4 by 12.1 points without using web search. It also leads the LMArena board with 1,501 points.

Developers get the same upgrades too: Gemini 3 Pro is now in the Gemini API, AI Studio and Vertex AI. Google is also adding Antigravity, an autonomous coding tool that writes software while generating its own subtasks and progress notes. Gemini 3 Deep Think, a higher-end reasoning mode, will reach safety testers first before moving to AI Ultra users.

For MENA firms already prototyping with Google models, the rollout offers quicker access to production-grade assistants and coding agents as competition between global AI platforms tightens.

A new Disney+ app has officially launched in the UAE, and subscribers can now keep watching their favorite titles when they travel. Disney+ says access extends across supported markets in Europe, the United States and beyond.

The app is built around a dynamic homepage and simpler navigation, with recommendations drawn from each customer’s viewing habits and what’s popular in the UAE. Content from Hulu and ESPN is now easier to find alongside Disney+’s own library, the company says. Audio and subtitles come in up to 25 languages, and supported devices get high-quality video and sound.

For families, the app includes Junior Mode, a dedicated, simplified version of Disney+ for younger viewers, built around age-appropriate shows and movies. It sits alongside existing controls such as PIN-protected profiles, customizable content ratings and account notifications when a profile is changed.

The catalog still spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX. Returning series include Season 8 of “The Kardashians,” Season 23 of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Season 38 of “The Simpsons”. Also on the service are the second season of International Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series “Rivals,” comedy “Only Murders in the Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis 2” and 20th Century Studios’ “Send Help”.

Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest” is on the way, and Disney’s live-action “Moana” is due later this autumn. Beyond Hollywood, the Turkish title “Halef” is coming to the platform alongside a lineup of Korean entertainment: Korean-Japanese romantic comedy “Merry Berry Love” is streaming now, and “The Remarried Empress” arrives November 4.

Existing subscribers will be prompted to download the new app and sign in with their current credentials, with on-screen steps covering account confirmation and profile setup. Subscriptions start at AED 49.99 per month and can be canceled at any time.

For UAE subscribers planning to travel, the update will likely be well received, but Disney has left one question open. It confirms Europe and the United States as supported markets but doesn’t yet say which others fall under and beyond.
