Google Delays Gemini 3.5 Pro to July as It Tweaks AI Model After June Target

Summary
Google has pushed Gemini 3.5 Pro to July after previously signaling a June release, extending work on its next flagship AI model.
Early tester feedback drove the delay, with Google seeking more real-world use cases and folding in fixes from Flash 3.5, including complaints that it burned through tokens too quickly.
The model has already been exposed to some users through Google's Antigravity platform and the LMArena benchmarking site, and is expected to improve long-horizon tasks and AI agents.
The slip comes as pressure builds on Google in the AI race: Gemini 3 beat expectations last year, but Anthropic and OpenAI still lead in coding, a key enterprise use case.
