Google Gemini 3.5 Pro Launch Date Shifted to August 10 Amid Capability Delays

Gemini 3.5 Pro release moves to August 10 after June delay due to programming target misses; whistleblower notes competitive parity with top rivals.

Woofun AI reports that Google is scheduled to release the Gemini 3.5 Pro model on August 10, following a date adjustment from an earlier August 12 teaser by whistleblower Dan. The launch follows a previous delay from June, as internal testing revealed programming capabilities had not met required targets. Google previously confirmed the model was undergoing partner testing and would deploy upon readiness.

Dan indicated that while the new model will possess strong overall performance, it may not significantly surpass the leading models from Anthropic and OpenAI. This suggests a competitive landscape where incremental improvements define market positioning rather than disruptive leaps in capability.
