Multiple teams across Google \u2014 including DeepMind, Cloud, Android and Search \u2014 are simultaneously developing AI coding tools, leading to overlapping efforts, shifting priorities and slower execution. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Recent attempts to improve Gemini\u2019s coding performance, including updated training data, have reportedly fallen short. Meanwhile, competitors continue to roll out more advanced models, widening the performance gap. <\/p>\n<p>Google Defends Pace, Highlights Ongoing Testing<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">&#8220;We\u2019re shipping quickly across a wide range of models while keeping them highly cost-effective for customers,&#8221; a Google spokesperson told Bloomberg in a statement. &#8220;We\u2019re currently testing 3.5 Pro, an upgraded Flash model, and other models with partners, and we\u2019re productively engaged with the US government on model testing and broader frameworks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The setbacks have weighed on investor sentiment, with Alphabet shares slipping following the report, highlighting growing skepticism about Google\u2019s ability to maintain its edge in AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">GOOGL Stock Price Activity: Alphabet stock was down 4.52% at $354.17 at the time of publication Thursday, according to data from <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.benzinga.com\/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Benzinga Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Photo: Shutterstock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gemini\u2019s Coding Weakness Puts Google Behind Rivals Bloomberg reported that the release of Gemini 3.5 Pro has slipped&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[8374,5896,5892,2408,132,1430,5891,7777,7778,5903],"class_list":["post-108690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-google","tag-category-equities","tag-category-tech","tag-cms-wordpress","tag-gemini","tag-google","tag-google-gemini","tag-pageisbzpro-bz","tag-symbol-goog","tag-symbol-googl","tag-tag-why-its-moving"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
