Google has reportedly postponed the Gemini 3.5 Pro launch until July 2026 to gather more feedback from early testers. The advanced artificial intelligence model was previously expected to arrive in June.
The reported delay has not been officially confirmed by Google. A company spokesperson “declined to comment” when asked about the revised schedule. Therefore, the July release window remains based on information from an unnamed source familiar with the development process.
Google reportedly needs more time to study how Gemini 3.5 Pro performs in real-world tasks. Early users have tested the model through selected platforms, including Google’s Antigravity development environment and the LMArena benchmarking service.
According to the report, the company is collecting feedback from those users and making changes before a wider release. This work reportedly focuses on long and complex tasks that require the model to complete several connected steps.
Google introduced the Gemini 3.5 model family at its I/O developer conference in May. Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said Gemini 3.5 Pro would arrive the following month. Still, Google did not publish a fixed release date.
The company launched Gemini 3.5 Flash as the first model in the new series. Google described Flash as a model built for coding, AI agents and complex workflows. Gemini 3.5 Pro is expected to offer greater computing power for demanding tasks.
The company has reportedly used feedback from Gemini 3.5 Flash while developing the Pro model. Some users said Flash consumed tokens too quickly, which could raise costs when handling long prompts or completing extended tasks.
Google is reportedly examining that issue while preparing Gemini 3.5 Pro. Token use affects how much text a model processes and generates. Higher usage can increase costs for developers and companies that run large numbers of AI requests.
The upcoming model is also expected to improve long-horizon work. These tasks require an AI system to plan, use tools and maintain context over several stages. They include software development, data analysis and automated business processes.
Nevertheless, Google has not published full technical details or benchmark results for Gemini 3.5 Pro. Claims about its speed, efficiency and coding performance will remain unverified until Google releases official testing data or gives users wider access.
The reported delay comes as major AI developers compete for business customers. Coding tools have become a key part of that market as companies use AI to generate software, review code and automate routine development work.
OpenAI and Anthropic have also released models aimed at coding and agent-based tasks. Google already provides Gemini tools through AI Studio, Vertex AI, Android Studio and Antigravity. Gemini 3.5 Pro could expand those services once it becomes available.
Meanwhile, Google introduced Gemma 4 12B earlier in June. The company describes it as a unified, encoder-free multimodal model designed to run locally on laptops. It supports text, images, video and native audio input while using a smaller memory footprint.
Google says Gemma 4 12B can operate on devices with 16GB of RAM or video memory under supported configurations. Unlike Gemini’s closed commercial models, Gemma provides open model weights for developers who want more control over local deployment.
For now, Gemini 3.5 Pro has no confirmed public launch date. Reports point to July, but Google has not stated which products, users or regions will receive access first.
