   The Gemini 3.5 Pro delay has been catastrophic for Google. I'm really curious what has gone on behind the scenes there.

   But missing out right as AI coding agents become genuinely deeply capable and useful is just an immense failure.

      Surely the two leading candidates must be (a) the model is just not that good, or (b) it is misaligned in a pretty obvious way that can't be swept under the rug.

         Sure, but the question is why either of those things happened, given Google's immense resources and talent.

         The fact that OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceXAI and 3 different Chinese companies were all able to train big models without these issues, yet Google could not, seems shocking.
