Deep Research Max: a step change for autonomous research agents
AI Summary
Google's 2026 announcement of two new Gemini Deep Research API agents built on Gemini 3.1 Pro: a low-latency 'Deep Research' for interactive use and 'Deep Research Max' for exhaustive, high-quality asynchronous reports. It details new MCP support for connecting proprietary data sources, native chart/infographic generation, collaborative research-plan review, and claims Max consults more sources and surfaces nuances the December release often missed.
Original excerpt
Built with Gemini 3.1 Pro, the new Deep Research agents bring MCP support, native visualizations and unprecedented analytical quality to long-horizon research workflows across the web or custom sources.
In December, we released the Gemini Deep Research agent to developers via the Interactions API, giving developers access to Google's most advanced autonomous research capabilities. Today, we are taking these capabilities to the next level with two new evolutions of our autonomous research agent: Deep Research and Deep Research Max.
With the integration of our most advanced model, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Deep Research has transformed from a sophisticated summarization engine into a foundation for…
