Gemini 3

Gemini 3 from Google is dominating headlines after its blockbuster release last week, with the company calling it a “new era of intelligence.” Integrated directly into Google Search on day one, the new model immediately surged past OpenAI’s latest systems.

It exceeded major benchmarks and shot to the top of LM Arena, the crowdsourced AI ranking platform widely described as the “Billboard Hot 100” for AI systems.

Gemini 3 has a Record-Breaking Launch

According to Google, more than one million users tested Gemini 3 in Google AI Studio and through the Gemini API within the first 24 hours.
“From a day one adoption standpoint, [it’s] the best we’ve seen from any of our model releases,” said Logan Kilpatrick, product lead for Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, in an interview with The Verge.

LM Arena itself confirmed the surge, reflecting unprecedented engagement from developers eager to benchmark the model’s multimodal reasoning and speed.
Google’s official launch post, which describes Gemini 3 as its “most powerful agentic and vibe coding model yet,” can be found here.

Marc Benioff: “I’m Not Going Back”

One of the most talked-about reactions came from Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who announced he has stopped using ChatGPT after trying Gemini 3.

“Holy shit,” Benioff wrote on X. “I’ve used ChatGPT every day for 3 years. Just spent 2 hours on Gemini 3. I’m not going back. The leap is insane — reasoning, speed, images, video… everything is sharper and faster.”

Benioff’s viral post racked up over a million views in hours, underscoring the excitement across the tech community.

Praise From Across the AI Landscape

The enthusiasm wasn’t limited to Salesforce. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in a rare nod to a rival, posted on X: “Looks like a great model.”

Former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy also praised Gemini 3, noting “very solid daily driver potential” and calling it “clearly a tier 1 LLM.”

Stripe CEO Patrick Collison added his own endorsement, sharing that Gemini 3 automatically built an “interactive web page summarizing 10 breakthroughs in genetics,” which he described as “pretty cool.”

Google Pushes to Reclaim the AI Crown

The launch of Gemini 3 comes at a pivotal moment in the AI arms race, with OpenAI rolling out ChatGPT 4.5 Turbo and preparing GPT-5, while Anthropic pushes Claude 3.5 to new heights.

Google, however, clearly sees Gemini 3 as the turning point. With its multimodal reasoning, improved speed, and “agentic” capabilities deeply integrated throughout Google’s ecosystem, the company is signaling that it intends to reclaim leadership in the rapidly accelerating AI industry.
