A user speculates that Google may never release Gemini 3.5 Pro, instead distributing its capabilities through distilled versions like Gemini Flash 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7.
This strategy would allow Google to continuously roll out new models while avoiding backlash from potentially disappointing frontier benchmark scores.
