Gemini 3 just stole ChatGPT’s biggest fan (www.techradar.com)

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff publicly abandoned his three‑year daily use of ChatGPT after trying Google’s new Gemini 3 for roughly two hours, tweeting that he’s “not going back.” He praised Gemini 3’s leap in reasoning, speed and multimodal capabilities — handling text, images, code, audio and video in one unified architecture — and credited Google DeepMind advances for the model’s sharper, faster responses. Gemini 3 is being positioned as a flexible engine for both consumers and developers, able to power use cases from helpdesk bots to video‑editing suggestions. The switch matters because Benioff is a high‑profile enterprise AI evangelist whose tooling choices can influence product roadmaps and partner alignments; Salesforce was an early OpenAI partner, so his defection signals that enterprise loyalties can shift quickly when a model materially improves. For the AI/ML community, this underscores that practical attributes — latency, multimodal reasoning, developer adaptability — can trump sheer ubiquity or brand. It’s less about immediate disruption for casual users and more a reminder that model performance and feature breadth are rapidly reshaping which platforms enterprises choose to build on.
