About
Maximum-comprehensiveness version of Google's Deep Research agent, built on Gemini 3.1 Pro and released April 21, 2026. Spends more compute than the standard preview to consult more sources, refine reports, and capture nuanced details. Designed for accuracy-critical long-form investigations synthesizing information from hundreds of sources. Supports MCP servers, File Search, and multi-step planning. Context: 1M tokens; max output: 65,536 tokens. Runs at Gemini 3.1 Pro rates ($2.00/$12.00 per MTok). API ID: deep-research-max-preview-04-2026.
Gemini Deep Research Max Preview is a proprietary model in the Gemini 3.1 family. The structured metadata tracks a 1m-token context window, multimodal input, audio, function calling, tool use, and structured outputs. This page tracks provider routes through Google AI Studio, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $2 input and $12 output per 1M tokens.
