Google Gemini 3.5 Pro ' s delivery is months behind schedule owing to technical capacity not meeting expectations

On 17 July, informed sources revealed that Google had fallen behind schedule for several months in delivering its most powerful flagship AI model, Gemini 3.5 Pro, and that the company was trying to take the opportunity to upgrade its capabilities, particularly in code writing. This delay triggered frustration among Google engineers, AI researchers and management, who feared that the company would be exposed to the risk that its competitors, Anthropic and OpenAI, would take market advantage. According to these sources, Google involved multi-level stakeholders in the preparation of the release of the model and was working to integrate artificially intelligent technologies into a broad portfolio of products, including search, maps and YouTube, which could lead to project delays。
