AI, Actually

Google's Gemini 3 Breakthrough and Bold AI Predictions for 2026

02 Dec 2025

Description

The race for AI dominance just shifted. Google's Gemini 3 launch was a coordinated ecosystem play that could reshape how enterprises think about AI infrastructure. In this episode, Pete Reilly sits down with Andy Sweet, Shanti Greene, and Stew Chisam to dissect what Gemini 3 really means for enterprise adoption, where the technology is genuinely improving, and where marketing hype obscures practical limitations.The conversation moves beyond surface-level benchmarks to tackle the uncomfortable reality facing IT leaders: foundation models are converging on performance, but the real competitive advantage lies in how you architect solutions on top of them. The team explores Google's commanding lead in multimodal capabilities, the strategic implications of vendor ecosystems, and why enterprises betting everything on a single provider might be making a costly mistake. Then they close with their boldest predictions for 2026, from content exhaustion and the death of infographics to agents working autonomously longer than your employees.What You'll Learn:How Gemini 3's pre-training approach signals continued model improvements and what that means for the scaling law debateWhy Google's multimodal dominance (backed by YouTube, Google Photos, and Drive) creates a moat that competitors can't easily replicateThe critical difference between general intelligence benchmarks and enterprise intelligence that understands your business contextWhy the "stateless" problem keeps plaguing AI solutions and how memory scaffolding becomes essential for business applicationsPredictions for 2026: content exhaustion, shadow IT proliferation, and the moment enterprises realize there's no easy buttonFollow the Gang:Shanti Greene, Head of Data Science and AI Innovation, AnswerRocket - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shantigreene/ Pete Reilly, COO, AnswerRocket - https://www.linkedin.com/in/petereilly Andy Sweet, VP Enterprise AI Solutions, AnswerRocket - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewdsweet/ Stew Chisam, Operating Partner, StellarIQ - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stewart-chisam-7242543/ Chapters: 00:00     Introduction to Gemini 3 and Episode Overview 01:45     Gemini 3's Long-Term Planning Capabilities 04:17     Are LLMs Becoming Commoditized Primitives? 08:04     Model Specialization and Jagged Edges 11:15     Why Multi-Vendor Strategy Matters for Enterprises 13:29     OS/2 vs Windows: Best Doesn't Always Win 15:10     The Scaling Law Debate and Pre-Training Improvements 16:12     Enterprise Intelligence vs General AGI 22:41     How Enterprises Should Think About Gemini 3 26:44     Bold Predictions for 2026 28:08     Content Exhaustion and the Infographic Problem 33:06     Agents as Autonomous Team Members#Gemini3 #EnterpriseAIArchitecture #MultimodalAI #AIAgents #VendorLockIn #SemanticLayer #ScalingLaws #PreTrainingCompute #EnterpriseIntelligence #AIPredictions2026Keywords: Gemini 3, enterprise AI architecture, multimodal AI, AI agents, vendor lock-in, semantic layer, scaling laws, pre-training compute, enterprise intelligence, AI predictions 2026
