Recent rumors from Chinese social media suggest that Google is set to release Gemini 3.5 Pro on August 12, featuring a 2M token context window and an upgraded Deep Think reasoning mode, with reportedly strong coding performance in A/B testing.
However, prominent AI developer teortaxesTex brutally dismissed the hype. He stated bluntly that the current base model is already "cooked," noting that Google's previous attempts to hype up Flash 3.5 and 3.6 went nowhere. He argued that the company desperately needs to release genuinely new models rather than repackaging existing ones.
