“Holy s—. I’ve used ChatGPT every day for 3 years. Just spent 2 hours on Gemini 3. I’m not going back,” Benioff wrote on X. “The leap is insane — reasoning, speed, images, video… everything is sharper and faster. It feels like the world just changed, again.”
Benioff, who has 1.1 million followers on X, had more than 3.2 million people see his post by Tuesday morning, according to the social network.
But behind the public compliments, there are signs of concern at OpenAI. In an internal memo written before Gemini 3’s release and obtained by The Information, Altman told employees to expect “rough vibes,” adding “by all accounts, Google has been doing excellent work recently.” He said Google’s progress could “create some temporary economic headwinds for our company,” but insisted OpenAI is “catching up fast.””
