Ridiculed as a North American soybean bag, Google responded that the large model Gemini 3.5 Pro fell short of expectations

Kuai Technology reported on July 18 that previous reports showed that Google would release the Gemini 3.5 Pro large model on the 17th. The original plan was to release it in June.
