- Tech industry leaders, including Marc Benioff and Sam Altman, have praised the model’s performance and speed.

Google introduced Gemini 3, its most powerful foundation model to date, last Tuesday. The new AI system became available instantly via the Gemini application and the company’s search-based AI interface. Gemini 3 is designed for advanced reasoning, supports a large context window for processing more information, and features a Deep Think mode to handle complex problem-solving.
Early reactions from both users and high-profile tech executives have been very positive. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff publicly endorsed the new model after testing it, stating in an X post that, “I’ve used ChatGPT every day for 3 years. Just spent 2 hours on Gemini 3. I’m not going back.” He went on to describe significant improvements in reasoning, speed, and the handling of images and video, calling the upgrade a major leap forward.
Gemini 3 scored a leading 37.4 on the Humanity’s Last Exam benchmark, indicating strong abilities in general reasoning and expertise. The release followed closely after major updates from competitors, with OpenAI unveiling GPT-5.1 and Anthropic releasing Sonnet 4.5, highlighting the accelerating pace in AI development.
Other tech industry figures have also recognized Gemini 3’s strengths. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman referred to it as a great model. Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital, explained in a detailed post that Gemini 3 Pro was trained using Google’s in-house Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), as opposed to NVIDIA GPUs, giving the company a unique technological edge.
A sentiment analysis conducted by Grok on posts from X found that roughly 80% of user comments about Gemini 3 have been positive, especially regarding its impact in coding, multimodal reasoning (integrating text, images, and video), and agentic tasks (autonomous goal completion). However, some users mentioned that the model feels “sterile” and adheres to strong safety protocols, which may limit creativity.
The launch of Gemini 3 comes as competition intensifies within the corporate sector, with business leaders openly discussing their preferred AI chatbots. The positive reaction has coincided with a surge in Alphabet’s market performance. The company’s stock has increased by over 58% this year, now trading near a historic high of $300 per share.
