In this episode of Hashtag Trending, host Jim Love discusses the highly anticipated launch of Google’s Gemini 3.0, a game-changing AI model trained across text, images, audio, and video. The new multimodal engine has set new benchmark highs, surpassing previous models such as GPT-5.1, and has caused a significant stir in the industry. Key players like OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella respond to this leap-forward, recalibrating their strategies. Altman acknowledges the competitive pressure while Nadella emphasizes the need for Microsoft’s radical reinvention. Meanwhile, Google’s ambitious goal to increase its AI computing power by 1,000 times over the next few years signals intense future competition.
