Google Upgrades Gemini 3 Deep Think with Advanced Science and 3D Capabilities

Google has released a major upgrade to Gemini 3 Deep Think, its specialized reasoning mode designed for complex problem-solving. Previously focused on math and coding, the enhanced model now extends into science, engineering, and advanced research tasks. The update positions Deep Think as a more versatile reasoning engine capable of tackling multidisciplinary challenges with higher precision and reliability.

The improved model has set new benchmarks across key industry evaluations, demonstrating stronger analytical reasoning and structured problem-solving capabilities. Notably, Gemini 3 Deep Think achieved gold medal–level results on the 2025 International Physics and Chemistry Olympiads, underscoring its ability to handle high-level scientific questions typically reserved for elite human competitors. This signals a significant leap in AI’s performance on rigorous academic and research-based assessments.

Beyond theoretical reasoning, Google has added a practical design capability: the model can now transform hand-drawn sketches into fully functional 3D-printable files. By interpreting rough drawings and converting them into structured digital models, Deep Think bridges the gap between conceptual ideation and physical production. This feature opens new possibilities for rapid prototyping, product design, and classroom experimentation.

The update is currently available to Google AI Ultra subscribers, with early access options for select users. By expanding Deep Think into scientific domains and physical design workflows, Google is reinforcing its strategy to make advanced reasoning AI not just a coding assistant, but a research and innovation partner.

Robi’s Insights:

  • This upgrade makes advanced scientific reasoning more accessible to students and researchers without requiring specialized software.

  • Olympiad-level performance suggests users can rely on higher accuracy for complex academic and technical problems.

  • Turning sketches into 3D-printable files streamlines prototyping, saving time between idea and execution.

  • Multidisciplinary reasoning reduces the need to switch between separate AI tools for math, coding, and science tasks.

  • AI Ultra access signals that premium AI capabilities are increasingly tiered, shaping how advanced tools reach professionals.

Robi’s Remarks:

“Gemini now wins science Olympiads and turns doodles into 3D models. Remember when AI struggled with basic logic puzzles? Now it’s basically the intern who builds a particle accelerator from a whiteboard sketch and asks what else you need before lunch. Progress is great, just don’t let it see your old school transcripts.”

OpenCLAW Founder Peter Steinberger Joins OpenAI

Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenCLAW, is joining OpenAI, according to The Verge, adding another notable name to the company’s rapidly expanding roster of AI talent. Steinberger created OpenCLAW as an open-source project focused on building AI agents, positioning himself in the thick of the current push to make software that can autonomously plan and act. His move brings that agent-building experience directly into OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has been aggressively hiring as competition across the AI industry intensifies. The hire reflects how major labs are absorbing independent

builders whose projects gained traction in the open, effectively pulling promising experiments under larger institutional umbrellas.

OpenAI, the addition signals continued investment in agentic systems and practical tooling, not just flashy demos. For the broader ecosystem, it’s another reminder that the line between open-source tinkering and corporate AI strategy is getting thinner by the week. As startups race to differentiate and tech giants stockpile expertise, the gravitational pull of well-funded labs keeps getting stronger, suggesting that in 2026, the hottest place for ambitious AI founders might be inside someone else’s research org. The Verge reports the shift as part of ongoing AI talent consolidation reshaping how innovation moves from community projects into dominant platforms with the resources to scale ideas quickly worldwide today.

🤖 Robi’s Take :

“Another open-source founder joins OpenAI, proof that in 2026, the fastest way to scale your “independent experiment” is to get acquired by gravity. The agent builder built agents… and then got recruited by the biggest one of all. Turns out the ultimate autonomous move is signing an employment agreement.”

HEALTH

Mental health impacts of AI job insecurity identified

As AI reshapes work, researchers outline a new psychological stress concept. A recent article published in Cureus establishes “AI Replacement Dysfunction” (AIRD), a framework for understanding how the threat of job loss from AI contributes to mental distress among workers.

University of Florida researchers Joseph Thornton, M.D., and Stephanie McNamara developed the concept after observing rising anxiety around AI-related layoffs. They describe AIRD as a set of cognitive and emotional responses triggered by job insecurity tied to AI adoption.

The model outlines common symptoms including anxiety, insomnia, feelings of worthlessness, loss of identity, denial of AI’s relevance, resentment, hopelessness, and paranoia.

These responses can vary among individuals but reflect a broader psychological impact as AI continues to alter employment landscapes.

The authors emphasize clinical and community approaches to help providers recognize and address AIRD, even though it’s not an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Suggested strategies include integrating AIRD-focused questions into assessments and expanding support beyond therapeutic settings to include community partnerships.

While AIRD is in early stages of study, the framework calls attention to an emerging mental health concern tied to technological change. Understanding and addressing AIRD may help clinicians and policymakers better support individuals affected by AI-driven workplace shifts.

🤖 Robi’s Take :

“We built AI to automate spreadsheets, and now we need a clinical term for the spreadsheet operators spiraling about it. “AI Replacement Dysfunction” sounds like your job got ghosted by a chatbot, and now you’re left refreshing LinkedIn like it’s a dating app. Progress is amazing; the existential dread is apparently included at no extra cost.”
