Google delays release of Gemini 3.5 Pro, Meta and OpenAI staff poke fun online

Odaily Planet Daily News Google recently launched three faster and cheaper AI models, but its next-generation frontier model, Gemini 3.5 Pro, has yet to be released. Meta's Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang posted on X platform regarding Meta's Spark model ranking higher than the model Google released this week, saying "gemini who?"

OpenAI researcher Thibault Sottiaux also responded on X platform to Google employee Logan Kilpatrick's post about Gemini 4 starting pre-training, saying "hope it finishes one day as well." Google has not commented on this.

Raymond James analyst Josh Beck stated that the delay of Gemini 3.5 Pro has shifted external perception from leading to lagging. Moor Insights & Strategy analyst Anshel Sag said it is "a bit strange" for Google to promote Gemini 4 before delivering Gemini 3.5 Pro.
