   Good morning folks. Today is the day. In just a couple of hours, there'll be a special live stream between Illia and Murad. We'll be discussing all things community, memetics, the state of crypto, philosophical ideas on AI, and Illlia's vision for NEAR as it grows in the future.

   Let's make sure the Legion shows up loud and engaged. It's not every day we get the attention of two crypto visionaries, as well as a huge meme coin community. Our AI stories today are actually going to be built around some major releases from Google, all centered around Gemini 3.

   The first one is Google's announcement of Antigravity, an AI assisted software development. Perhaps Cursor is feeling a little nervous. This brings us to the real story of the week. Gemini 3 is very good, and when we say very good, we mean it kind of blew a lot of expectations out of the water.

   This is in defense of the gas guzzling compute paradigm of AI that Western frontier models are, in fact, best in class because they're so expensive. Let's look at some data. The Gemini 3 Pro scored 91% on spatial reasoning, almost as good as a human, and a full 25% better than GPT 5.

   Gemini 3 Pro also has taken the number one overall and number 1 in 4 of five code arenas. That's website game dev, 3D design and UI components. In other words, the Google DeepMind team is cooking. You can actually experiment and compare many different models at Design Arena AI to see just how good Gemini 3 Pro actually is.

   And last but not least, the capability jump in. Gemini 3 is such a leap compared to other AI benchmarks that it's led some to postulate. We're officially entering a new AI era, and perhaps we are. Stick around. We'll do this all again real soon.
