Where is Gemini in all this? Lately it's not even been in the running. Sir Demis asleep at the wheel? Or Google too scared to release a SOTA model?

Or ... maybe Gemini 4 is too good and the NSA is using it to break into systems worldwide ...?

Google pretending they're still far ahead. In reality, far far behind. Google has become "just like another" company, nothing special. Few bright minds, with a lot of overpaid engineers.

The rumor is Gemini 3.5 pro will be released next week.

It had previously been announced (at Google I/O) to be released in June, but it got pushed back. Why? Rumors range from they are having trouble to they scrapped an old framework to pursue a new one and the new model will surpass Fable 5 and be cheaper.

I expect Google will drop a new SOTA model soon. Rumor has it they're training a new model from the ground-up, which takes a while.
