Google Pitches Gemini 4, Monthly AI Releases as Gemini 3.5 Pro Misses June Target

Summary
On Wednesday’s earnings call, Sundar Pichai said Google is building Gemini 4 and plans to ship new large language models at an almost monthly cadence, sidestepping a fresh timeline for Gemini 3.5 Pro.
Gemini 3.5 Pro was introduced at I/O with a June release target, but Google this week launched Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash Cyber without updating the delayed flagship reasoning model.
Bloomberg has reported the Pro model is months late because its coding performance has fallen short of internal expectations, especially against comparable systems from OpenAI and Anthropic.
Enterprise customers have not broadly defected, but analysts said the delays are making CIOs more cautious on new AI platform commitments even as many companies already run multi-model setups.
A near-monthly release cycle could speed access to better performance and lower costs, but analysts said it also raises testing, governance and version-management burdens unless each update delivers clear gains.
