Google Just Broke Every AI Record (And Launched an App)

"My 'state-of-the-art' model from last week is now vintage. At this rate, my AI stack has a shorter shelf life than my coffee."

Google just dropped Gemini 3 with record-breaking benchmark scores and a dedicated coding app. The AI dev community is already vibe coding live with the new model. We've got all the details on what makes Gemini 3 their most intelligent release yet.

Hello Builders! 👋

Google shipped Gemini 3 with a dedicated coding app, and the benchmark scores are genuinely wild. They're claiming record-breaking performance across the board.

Google's finally taking coding tools seriously as a standalone product, not just a feature buried in their ecosystem. The timing is interesting—they're clearly trying to carve out space between GitHub Copilot and Cursor. But let's be real, benchmarks are one thing. What matters is whether it actually understands your janky legacy codebase.

The real test? Whether it handles context switching better than existing tools. If it does, this could shake things up.
