Sundar Pichai responds to Polymarket predicting Gemini 3 update
Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) and Google CEO Sundar Pichai has responded to speculation around the launch of Gemini 3 in his unique way on X.
Gemini 3, the company’s next large language model, is expected to drop soon and crypto traders on Polymarket think there is a 69% chance it will release on Nov. 22.

Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction market that lets traders bet money on contracts related to real events like product launch dates, future Bitcoin (BTC) price, election results, Fed policy, etc. A user simply pays with cryptocurrency to trade an event contract.
The crypto-based prediction market last month raised $2 billion from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) parent, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), at a valuation of $9 billion.
The prediction markets have also been interacting with Google. Recently, the tech giant said that Google Finance is going to integrate prediction markets data from both Polymarket and Kalshi.
Once the feature goes live, it would allow users to ask questions about future market events and harness the wisdom of the crowds by tapping into the data from event contracts on the prediction markets.
Now that the crypto traders on Polymarket are speculating that Google’s Gemini 3 could launch next week, Pichai reacted in a rather restrained manner. He didn’t drop any details and instead dropped two “thinking face” emojis.
It seems the billionaire CEO wants to keep everyone guessing. However, the launch is incredibly crucial for Google as it has miles to go before it can catch up with AI giants like OpenAI.
The global AI industry is keeping a close watch on the upcoming launch as it would decide whether Google can even attempt to challenge OpenAI’s dominance.
