On July 24th, as reported by Axios, six current and former employees from Google DeepMind disclosed that the low morale among staff members has been a contributing factor to the postponed launch of Gemini 3.5 Pro, the most potent model developed by the Google DeepMind AI lab. Bloomberg had earlier indicated that the development of this model was lagging several months behind the initial timeline. Although Google has recently introduced a range of smaller, more streamlined models, the market's reaction to them has been lukewarm.
