    I'm wondering if Google intends to drop the next major version of Gemini Pro as a total bombshell drop to make Anthropic and OpenAI panic. They seem to be taking their sweet time on frontier model updates.

      They promised 3.5 Pro at their next or i/o event, but the rumor is that is never going to be released because it would have been embarrassing. They just started letting their engineers use Claude, so it sounds like things may not be going so well with Gemini

      Why would they need to make anthropic or openai panic?

      Every non tech company I know is using Gemini or copilot, because the same companies already were on Google or Microsoft suite and got those as extensions.

      NotebookLM is way more popular in the real world than anthropic work or crap like that.

      In business world contracts, data retention and procurements are more important than made up benchmarks only nerds care for.
