Google may launch Gemini 3.5 Pro this week amid fierce price pressure

The post speculates that Google may ship Gemini 3.5 Pro this week, but says the bar is now much higher than before.
The author argues it would need to match Opus 4.8-level performance while also offering a competitive price, especially with GPT-5.6 Luna and DeepSeek V4-Flash reportedly delivering strong results at lower cost.
It’s an expectation post, not a confirmed launch, but the core topic is still model capability and pricing pressure in the frontier-model race.
