At the time the model was created, gemini-3 didn't exist, so the model created a response based on the training data.

this is because they are trained on the data of the world where Gemini 3 is still not released. I asked llama2 - "Who's the 47th president of the United States?" and it came up with - "There have been only 46 presidents till now with Joe Biden being the 46th."

this isn't the model's fault it's just that it isn't trained on the latest data, and it cannot fetch it while it's running on your local machine.
