Google's Gemini 3 Takes The Crown From OpenAI

Google released Gemini 3, its new state-of-the-art model that's now leading multiple benchmarks and leaderboards. The company is calling it a "new era of intelligence," and the results back it up.

Gemini 3 and its Deep Think variant set new records on reasoning benchmarks like Humanity's Last Exam and ARC-AGI-2, beating GPT-5's previous scores. The model leads in scientific knowledge, math, multimodal reasoning, and tool use. It trails only Claude Sonnet 4.5 in coding performance.

One standout capability is Gemini 3's ability to create generative UI and visual layouts in real-time, demonstrated through its integration in AI Mode in Search.

Google also launched Antigravity, a free agentic coding platform with browser control, asynchronous workflows, and multi-agent orchestration.

This marks the first time in a while that Google has taken the top spot from OpenAI. With access to massive resources and integration across its product ecosystem, Google is making a clear statement as the industry moves into the next generation of frontier model

Standard Chartered Calls Bitcoin's Bottom After 30% Crash

After Bitcoin dropped nearly 30% from its October peak, falling below $90K yesterday, one question matters: is the bottom in?

Standard Chartered says yes.

Bitcoin has bounced back above $93K following one of the cycle's sharpest drawdowns. Ethereum briefly lost $3K, Solana is down almost 40% from highs, crypto equities got hammered, and ETFs saw billions in outflows.

Yet analysts aren't treating this as the start of a bear market.

Geoffrey Kendrick from Standard Chartered points out this sell-off matches the third major correction of the current cycle in both magnitude and indicator resets. One key signal: MicroStrategy's modified NAV dropped back to 1.0, a level that's historically aligned with seller exhaustion.

Kendrick's outlook calls for a rally into year-end, though macro conditions complicate the short term. Rate-cut odds keep falling, AI-sector weakness is affecting tech broadly, and global liquidity is rising but getting absorbed by high-yield government debt.

On-chain data supports the bottoming thesis. Short-term holder capitulation is slowing, realized losses are stabilizing, and price-insensitive holders have absorbed 186,000 BTC since October 6. These patterns typically appear after bottoms, not before them.

Analysts see two likely scenarios: a sharp reversal as sellers exhaust and supply dries up, or a final drop into the mid-$80Ks before a trend change. Either way, the direction afterward looks the same.
