Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has sparked a fresh wave of debate in the AI world after declaring that Google’s newly launched Gemini 3 has decisively overtaken ChatGPT.
In a post on X, Benioff wrote that he has used ChatGPT “every day for 3 years,” but after spending two hours with Gemini 3, he’s “not going back,” calling the leap in reasoning, speed, images and video “insane.”
Benioff’s emphatic endorsement comes just as Google unveiled Gemini 3, its most powerful multimodal AI model to date and Nano Banana Pro, an advanced image-generation system built on top of it.
His comments immediately intensified comparisons between Google and OpenAI, the two companies locked in the most closely watched AI rivalry.
According to Google, Gemini 3 brings major improvements in complex reasoning, multimodal understanding, and tool-use capabilities. It integrates text, images, video, and code processing, positioning it as Google’s first truly general-purpose, agentic AI system across consumer and enterprise products.
Alongside it, Google introduced Nano Banana Pro, a new image-generation and editing model that promises studio-grade visuals, reliable text rendering, multilingual support, consistent brand styling, and high-resolution (including 4K) output.
The model is already rolling out across Google Workspace and the Gemini app, signalling Google’s push to tie creative workflows directly into its AI ecosystem.
The launches represent one of Google’s most aggressive bids yet to reclaim AI leadership, especially as OpenAI continues rapid advancements with its GPT-5 series. Benioff’s praise adds fuel to that momentum, offering rare public validation from a long-time power user of competing AI systems.
