Pichai: Gemini 3 Pro Is Google's Fastest-Ever Model Adoption — Meta Reportedly Wants In

IT Pro·medium signal

Sundar Pichai has claimed Gemini 3 Pro (released November 2025) reached 8 million paid enterprise seats in four months—'the fastest adoption of any model in our history'—with Google committing $175-185B in 2026 CapEx to sustain the momentum. The metric takes on new competitive significance as Fortune reported March 13 that Meta's AI leadership has been internally discussing licensing Gemini to cover their Avocado model delay, which would make Google's foundation model the default for a major competitor's products for the first time.
