Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says he's ditching OpenAI's ChatGPT for Google's newest AI model, Gemini 3 — calling it an "insane" leap forward in reasoning, speed, and multimodal capabilities.

"Holy shit," Benioff wrote on X on Sunday. "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. It feels like the world just changed, again."Benioff's reaction quickly went viral, racking up more than one million views as of early Monday morning. It adds to a growing chorus of executives praising Google's latest AI release.Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, Google's biggest rival in the AI race, congratulated the company on Gemini 3's launch, posting on X last week: "Looks like a great model."Former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy said on X he had a "positive early impression" of Gemini 3, calling it "very solid daily driver potential" and "clearly a tier 1 LLM."Stripe CEO Patrick Collison also weighed in, posting on X that Gemini 3 built an "interactive web page summarizing 10 breakthroughs in genetics," which he called "pretty cool."Google and its DeepMind division unveiled Gemini 3 last week, describing it in a blog post as their "most powerful agentic and vibe coding model yet," capable of generating and understanding text, images, video, and code with tighter integration across the Google ecosystem.Benioff's endorsement is striking, given Salesforce's deep partnerships across the AI landscape — including those with OpenAI and Anthropic — and underscores how rapidly preferences among top tech leaders are shifting as models get faster and better.Google's Gemini 3 arrives amid intensifying competition from OpenAI's ChatGPT 4.5 Turbo and 5, as well as Anthropic's Claude 3.5, each pushing boundaries in reasoning and tool use.
