Google Delays Gemini 3.5 Pro Release
Bloomberg’s reporting points to organizational sprawl as a root cause — separate teams within DeepMind, Cloud, Android, and Search are each building AI coding tools in parallel, resulting in duplicated work and slower decision-making. Updated training data intended to boost Gemini’s coding ability reportedly hasn’t closed the gap, even as competing labs continue pushing out stronger models.
Google Pushes Back on Delay Claims
A Google spokesperson pushed back on the characterization of the timeline in a statement to Bloomberg: “We’re shipping quickly across a wide range of models while keeping them highly cost-effective for customers. We’re currently testing 3.5 Pro, an upgraded Flash model, and other models with partners, and we’re productively engaged with the US government on model testing and broader frameworks.”
