Just generated a bunch of 3D CAD models using Gemini 3.0 to see how it compares in spatial understanding and it's heaps better than anything currently out there - not only intelligence but also speed.

Will run extended benchmarks later, let me know if you want to see actual data.

Just hand sketched what 5 year old would do on the paper - the house, trees, sun. And asked to generate 3d model with tree.js.

Results are amazing! 2.5 and 3 seems way way head.

Based on my benchmarks (run 100s of model generations).

2.5 stands between GPT-5 and GPT-5.1, where GPT-5 is the best of the 3.

In preliminary evals Gemini 3 seems to be way better than all, but I will know when I run extended benchmarks tonight.

Sorry to ask 7 days late, but what sort of prompt do you use to get it to do it? I tried the same exercise but it just placed the image in 2D in the 3D world. Much like Paper Mario but not what I was going for! Thank you.

I'm interested in seeing the data.

Is observed speed meaningful for a model preview? Isn’t it likely to go down once usage goes up?

[giancarlostoro]

I'm not familiar enough with CAD what type of format is it?

[ponyous]

It’s not a format, but in my mind it implies designs that are supposed to be functional as opposed to models that are meant for virtual games.

It generated a blender script that makes the model.

When I see CAD, I always think of Casting Assistant Device.
