Google's new AI mode in Search rolls out to 120 countries
Google just expanded its AI-powered Search Mode to nearly 120 countries as of December 1.
Powered by the latest Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro models, this update lets users get smarter, more interactive search results—if you're subscribed to Google AI Pro or Ultra.
To try it out, just switch on "Thinking with 3 Pro," which now replaces the old Gemini 2.5 option.
What's new for subscribers?
If you're in one of the nearly 120 countries where Gemini 3 is available, or in countries like the US, India, or Argentina where Nano Banana Pro has expanded, and have a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription, you'll get access to some cool upgrades.
Gemini 3 brings sharper reasoning and can handle images and text together for richer answers.
Nano Banana Pro boosts visual content—think better infographics and data visuals—by tapping into Google's huge info base.
