Alphabet Inc Class CGemini 3.5 Pro AI model delayed by several months, raising concerns about losing ground in enterprise AI.

Shares of Alphabet fell 4.5% in afternoon trading after reports that the release of its flagship Gemini 3.5 Pro AI model has been delayed by several months. The company is taking more time to improve the model's capabilities, particularly in software coding, where it reportedly fell short of internal expectations. The setback comes as rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta debut more competitive models, raising concerns that Google is losing ground in enterprise AI. A Google spokesperson confirmed the company is testing the 3.5 Pro model with partners and the U.S. government, but the lack of a firm consumer rollout date weighed on investor sentiment. The shares closed at $354.64, down 4.4% from the previous close.
