The release date for Google’s next frontier AI model has been pushed to July, Business Insider has learned.<\/p>\n
The company previously said it planned to roll out the new Gemini 3.5 Pro model in June. However, it is now targeting a July launch as it spends extra time gathering feedback from early testers and tweaking the model, according to a person familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n
Google teased the new model at its I\/O developer conference in May but said it wasn’t quite ready<\/a>. At the time, CEO Sundar Pichai said the model would launch “next month.”<\/p>\n A Google spokesperson declined to comment.<\/p>\n With this upcoming model, the pressure is on for Google at a moment of intense competition among the AI labs. While Gemini 3 outperformed expectations<\/a> last year, Anthropic and OpenAI are continuing to pull ahead of Google in coding, which has emerged as the first major enterprise use case<\/a> for modern AI.<\/p>\n The source said that Google pushed the launch date back so it could spend more time gathering real-world use cases from early testers. The new model has been available to some users on Google’s Antigravity platform <\/a>and on the AI benchmarking site LMArena<\/a>, they said.<\/p>\n The new Gemini 3.5 Pro model is expected to be better at long-horizon tasks and powering agents.<\/p>\n Google has also incorporated feedback from its recent Flash 3.5 model into 3.5 Pro, the source said,\u00a0confirming a theory that\u00a0<\/a>Business Insider floated<\/a> at I\/O. That includes criticisms that Flash consumed tokens too quickly.<\/p>\n Have something to share? Contact this reporter via email at hlangley@businessinsider.com<\/a> or Signal at 628-228-1836.
