Google Gemini 3.5 Pro Delayed: Coding Capabilities Need Boost

Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro model faces a delay in its public release. The company is working to improve the model's capabilities, particularly in coding. Google had previously stated it was being used internally and would roll out "next month." The delay is partly due to many stakeholders, efforts to make its coding skills more competitive, and internal factions building AI coding tools. A Google spokesperson says the company is shipping quickly across models and keeping them cost-effective. They are also testing 3.5 Pro and engaging with the U.S. government on model testing and frameworks. Gemini 3.5 Flash is now the default model across the Gemini app and Search's AI Mode, serving over 900 million monthly users. This shows the growing impact of AI on daily tech use.
