"Google has begun rolling out two upgrades for Search. Starting today, Gemini 3 is the default model powering AI Overviews. When the company debuted its new family of AI systems last November, it first deployed Gemini 3 in AI Overviews through a router that was programmed to direct the most difficult questions to the new system. Now Google is making Gemini 3 the standard for all users globally. In practice, Gemini 3 should prove better at generating more credible and relevant summaries."
"Google first previewed this feature late last year. "In our testing, we've found that people prefer an experience that flows naturally into a conversation - and that asking follow-up questions while keeping the context from AI Overviews makes Search more helpful," said Robby Stein, vice president of product for Google Search. "It's one fluid experience with prominent links to continue exploring: a quick snapshot when you need it, and deeper conversation when you want it.""
Google has made Gemini 3 the default model for AI Overviews across all users globally, replacing the previous router-based deployment that directed only difficult queries to Gemini 3. Gemini 3 is expected to produce more credible and relevant summaries in Search. A second upgrade enables users to jump directly from an AI Overview into an AI Mode conversation, preserving overview context for follow-up questions. Testing found that users prefer a seamless flow into conversation and that follow-up questions with preserved context make Search more helpful. The mobile rollout allows immediate use of the new conversation entry point starting today.
