Appears the only difference to 3.0 Pro Preview is Medium reasoning. Model naming has long gone from even trying to make sense, but considering 3.0 is still in preview itself, increasing the number for such a minor change is not a move in the right direction.

A .1 model number increase seems reasonable for more than doubling ARC-AGI 2 score and increasing so many other benchmarks.
What would you have named it?
I disagree. Incrementing the minor number makes so much more sense than “gemini-3-pro-preview-1902” or something.
According to the blog post, it should be also great at drawing pelicans riding a bicycle.
Maybe that's the only API-visible change, saying nothing about the actual capabilities of the model?
