Google is unleashing its Gemini 3 artificial intelligence model on its dominant search engine and other popular online services in the high-stakes battle to create technology that people can trust to enlighten them and manage tedious tasks.
Maybe more than other model releases, this one seems to have the attention of Google's competitors. Will it put the company at the top of the A.I.
Google announced Gemini 3, an upgraded artificial intelligence model, almost eight months after the company rolled out Gemini 2.5. The company said its latest suite of AI models will require users to do "less prompting" to get the desired results.
The new model could help the company leverage its built-in advantages of scale and profitability—if it can meet users' expectations.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is making a big bet on one of the hottest tech stocks.
Australia's remote Indian Ocean outpost of Christmas Island has enough power to support a new Google data centre without depriving locals, but its arrival could spur a push to renewable energy, the island's biggest employer and the tech giant said.
Alphabet Inc. remains fundamentally strong, with robust growth prospects and a fortress balance sheet supporting continued optimism. GOOGL's valuation is no longer the cheapest, as recent price appreciation has priced in much of the next 12 months' growth. Wall Street sentiment has turned ultra-bullish, with many analysts raising price targets above $300 per share, reflecting confidence in cloud and search resilience.
