Google on Tuesday released its newest artificial intelligence model, Gemini 3, going straight after OpenAI’s ChatGPT as the arms race between the two tech giants gets louder. The announcement, shared through multiple blog posts by Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, marks another direct attempt by the company to fight for control in a space OpenAI first dominated in 2022. The model begins rolling out today to a limited number of paying users and will spread more widely over the next few weeks. Gemini 3 has been fully embedded into the Gemini app, AI Overviews, AI Mode, and enterprise software. Sundar said Gemini 3 helps users “get what you need with less prompting,” adding that it can now better understand context, depth, and intent. The goal? Reduce friction and outmaneuver OpenAI’s newer GPT-5 upgrades. Gemini 3 arrives as OpenAI updates GPT-5 and pushes user numbers Google said Gemini 3 is now running at “Google scale,” which translates to 650 million monthly users in the Gemini app and 2 billion users engaging monthly with AI Overviews. That still trails behind OpenAI’s own numbers from August, when it said ChatGPT had 700 million weekly users. Sundar, in another post, wrote, “It’s amazing to think that in just two years, AI has evolved from simply reading text and images to reading the room.” Gemini 3 replaces Gemini 2. 5, which launched eight months ago. Gemini 2. 0 came just eleven months before that. Meanwhile, OpenAI rolled out two updates to GPT-5 just last week, calling one “warmer, more intelligent, and better at following your instructions,” and the other “faster on simple tasks, more persistent on complex ones.” Demis Hassabis, the head of Google DeepMind, said Gemini 3 avoids the usual chatbot fluff: “trading cliché and flattery for genuine insight telling you what you need.
