"For nearly three years, Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, was a ChatGPT devotee. Then, late last month, he abruptly converted to Google's chatbot, Gemini. "Holy shit," he 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." When Gemini 3 was released in mid-November, it appeared to crush OpenAI's top model on a suite of evaluations shared by Google."
"The bot has since received widespread praise from the tech industry. One analyst said that Gemini 3 is " the best model ever." Another crowned Google as the " AI winners." Sam Altman appears alarmed: Last week, in a company-wide memo, the OpenAI CEO reportedly declared a "code red" effort to improve ChatGPT's capabilities. OpenAI once had a clear technological edge. When the firm kicked off the AI race in 2022 with the launch of ChatGPT, Google was caught off guard."
Marc Benioff switched from daily ChatGPT use to Google's Gemini 3 after testing it, calling the leap dramatic. Gemini 3 launched in mid-November and reportedly outperformed OpenAI's top model on shared evaluations, receiving broad industry praise and accelerating user growth. Analysts hailed Gemini 3 as a major advancement while OpenAI leadership signaled an urgent internal response. Google previously stumbled with early chatbot releases but has improved rapidly. Other rivals such as Anthropic's Claude and Google models like Nano Banana have also pressured OpenAI by excelling at coding, speed, and benchmarks.
