Gemini 3 and Claude 4.5 lead AI agent advances in December 2025
Key Takeaways
- Google released Gemini 3 with strong reasoning and agent features for coding and search.
- Anthropic’s Claude 4.5 can code on its own for over 30 hours with little drop in performance.
- Amazon showed new frontier AI agents like Kiro that work alone on code tasks for days.
- OpenAI launched Sora video tool while Google brought out Veo 2 in the same week.
AI models got better at handling complex tasks in December 2025. Companies focused on agents that act on their own. These agents help with coding, research, and video creation. Big names like Google, Anthropic, Amazon, and OpenAI pushed new tools.
Google launched Gemini 3 and Gemini 3 Pro. These models set new records in reasoning and coding tests. Gemini 3 works well for multimodal tasks. It understands text, images, and more together. Developers use it for agentic coding. The Antigravity platform lets agents handle workflows without much help. Gemini 3 also improves search accuracy to 72 percent.
Anthropic updated Claude with version 4.5 Sonnet. This model stands out in long coding sessions. It keeps good performance for more than 30 hours. Claude calls sub-agents for smaller jobs. This helps it manage big projects. Developers see faster work with fewer errors.
Amazon announced frontier agents at its re:Invent event. One called Kiro acts like a team member. It connects to tools like GitHub and Jira. Kiro learns from team habits and codes alone for days. Users check its work but it handles most steps. Other agents focus on security and DevOps tasks.
OpenAI released Sora for video generation. It came out the same week as Google’s Veo 2. Both tools make high-quality videos from text prompts. Creators now have better options for quick video work. These releases mark a big step in generative video tech.
Runway updated its Gen models too. Gen-4 adds better camera controls. Users move around subjects in generated videos. This blurs lines between video making and simulation.
AI agents change how people code and create. Tools like Cursor and Windsurf wrap models in easy editors. Many developers use them weekly. Productivity rises but some jobs shift.
Costs for training drop with efficient models. Open-weight options close gaps with closed ones. Companies invest heavy in data centers. Micron sees high demand for memory chips used in AI servers.
These updates show AI moving to practical use. Agents handle real jobs in software and content. Google Gemini 3 and Anthropic Claude 4.5 lead in reasoning power. Amazon agents bring autonomy to teams. Video tools from OpenAI Sora and Google Veo open new creative paths.
Businesses train staff on these models. Accenture works with Anthropic and OpenAI. Regulated fields like finance get custom solutions.
AI agents need safeguards. Prompt attacks and tool misuse are risks. Teams build sandboxes and checks.
December 2025 ends with strong agent progress. Gemini 3, Claude 4.5, Amazon Kiro, and new video models drive change. Developers gain speed. Creators get better tools. The field keeps growing fast.
