Gemini 3.5 Pro drops next week and Google is about to make a comeback.
Everyone wrote them off. Six months of silence, one Flash refresh, endless jokes. I made a few myself.
But look at the chart. Google goes quiet, then leapfrogs. Every single time.
Gemini 3.1 Pro launched in February and was excellent.
They delayed this launch two months. Labs do not delay a model they are happy with. They delay one they are still improving.
Gemini 3.5 Pro lands at GPT 5.6 and Opus 5 level.
