Logan Kilpatrick, who works on Google AI Studio and Gemini API, says Gemini 3.5 marks the start of a new era for the model family after 2.5 years building infrastructure and teams
Researcher Lucas Beyer questions the 3.5 naming for a fundamental shift.
@OfficialLoganK Uhm you don't increment the minor version number if you think it's a new era; doesn't add up.
Gemini 3.5 feels like the start of a new era for Gemini, we spent the last 2.5 years putting the infrastructure, products, team, etc in place (learning lots of lessons along the way). The model is the product, please keep the feedback coming!
Just call it Gemini 4 Pro at this point

Thinking again about it > we spent the last 2.5 years putting the infrastructure, products, team, etc in place yeah makes sense they have NOT pretrained a new model, or even refreshed the data. (There has been a bit of an update, eg it knows me) Google is very… longtermist.

“On what do I base the belief that the 2026 results were a "hypothetical projection"?
I base this on the fundamental structure of my data.” fair enough
@teortaxesTex That's for Q4 against GPT-6 and Claude 5.

looks like gemini 3.5 is a flop. great opportunity to buy the dip and obtain some anthropic-waymo stock on sale
