Google's Gemini 3 model gains market recognition, Alphabet's stock price surges over 6% to a record high.

```

Alphabet's stock soared 5% on Wednesday as investors expressed optimism about the competitive edge brought by Google's newly released Gemini 3 artificial intelligence model.

On Tuesday, WallstreetCN reported that Google officially released the highly anticipated AI model Gemini 3, which was immediately launched on Google Search, the Gemini app, and multiple developer platforms on its first day, and was implemented in several profitable products.

Gemini 3 is an upgraded version following the launch of Gemini 2.5 about eight months ago. Google stated that Gemini 3 is able to provide higher-quality answers to more complex questions and can discern the context and intent behind user requests without excessive prompting.

D.A. Davidson analysts said in a research note on Tuesday that Gemini 3 is a "truly powerful model," performing outstandingly in preliminary testing and AI benchmark scoring, enough to compete with rival products released by OpenAI and Anthropic. The note stated:

Based on preliminary tests and benchmark results, this model substantially advances cutting-edge technology, and in some areas, its capabilities far exceed what we typically expect from this generation of frontier models.

On Wednesday, Google's stock price once jumped over 6.6% to a record high, then narrowed its gains. As of press time, the stock had retreated to 293.76, a rise of more than 3%.

Narrowing the Gap with Competitors

Bank of America Securities analysts pointed out that Gemini 3 represents "another positive step" by Google in narrowing the "perceived large language model performance gap" with its AI competitors.

Since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022 and sparked the generative AI boom, Google has been under pressure to catch up.

Analysts noted that while it is too early to fully evaluate the new model’s capabilities, some early assessment results are positive.

Adoption metrics for AI Overviews and Gemini indicate that despite heightened competition, Google has still managed to bring users to its AI interfaces, which should help ease concerns about potential hits to its search business.

Alphabet’s stock price has also risen recently after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a new position in the company, marking one of the largest tech stock investments by the group in recent years.

So far this year, Alphabet’s share price has risen more than 55% in total. The market has responded positively to ongoing optimization and competitive improvements in its AI product lineup, and investors expect the company to maintain its lead in the field of generative AI.
