Google Gemini 3.5 Pro delayed months, shares fell 3.2%, rivals Anthropic and OpenAI outpace coding performance – see why the lag matters.
Google’s flagship Gemini 3.5 Pro model will not arrive at the May developer conference as planned, pushing the launch back by several months and triggering a 3.2% drop in Alphabet’s stock on Thursday [1]. The delay raises concerns that Google is losing its edge to Anthropic and OpenAI, which have already rolled out coding‑focused models that surpass Gemini’s current capabilities.

Google engineers describe a “code red”‑style scramble that has turned into a bureaucratic maze, with multiple product groups—Search, Maps, YouTube, Cloud, DeepMind, Android—each building separate AI coding tools. The resulting overlap has slowed the testing of Gemini 3.5 Pro and forced internal teams to compete for limited compute capacity [1]. Recent attempts to improve coding ability by updating Gemini’s training data produced “disappointing” results, according to insiders, prompting the company to pause the rollout [1].
Anthropic and OpenAI have already released models that “further outpace” Google’s current offerings on code generation tasks, according to the same sources [1]. Those rivals have been able to ship new versions quickly while keeping costs low for customers, a contrast to Google’s slower, more fragmented release cadence. The delay also comes as both Anthropic and OpenAI face regulatory scrutiny—Anthropic after a cybersecurity‑risk flag and OpenAI after national‑security pressure—but they continue to push ahead, underscoring Google’s relative lag [1].
The delay highlights a structural challenge for Google: aligning its sprawling product ecosystem around a single AI model without sacrificing speed. Whether the company can regain momentum before competitors solidify their lead remains an open question.

Samsung Notes provides a richer text editor that supports tables, attachments, and structured document formatting, whereas Google Keep is primarily designed as a lightweight, plain-text note-taking app.
Yes, Google Gemini can be connected to Samsung Notes through the Gemini app settings under the Personal Intelligence and Connected apps menu. Once enabled, Google Gemini can read from and write to a user's note library.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro speakers are described as muffled and flat, with audio depth that is considered inferior to flagship competitors like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Google focuses on providing consistent, evenly lit images with natural colors and restrained processing across various lighting conditions. Some critics argue this approach has become predictable and lacks the aggressive innovation seen in other smartphone brands.
