Most notably, the model achieved a verified score of 77.1% on ARC-AGI-2. <\/p>\n<p>This specific benchmark is designed to evaluate a model&#8217;s ability to solve entirely new logic patterns it has not encountered during training. <\/p>\n<p>This result represents more than double the reasoning performance of the previous Gemini 3 Pro model.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-utility-meta-010 text-ink-subtle mt-2\">Google Gemini 3.1 Pro benchmark chart.
