A couple tidbits:

> Beyond today’s releases, Gemini 3.5 Pro is currently testing with partners and we plan to make it broadly available as soon as it’s ready.

> We have started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4, and are excited by the progress.

While them fixing token bloat on 3.5 Flash is good work. That paragraph was the real highlight.

Hopefully 3.5 Pro is soon, and that Gemini 4 can be here end of year and finally have an updated knowledge cutoff.

I guess they meant to release Gemini 3.5 Pro shortly after 3.5 Flash, but then Mythos/Fable and later GPT-5.6 came out with higher performance than 3.5 Pro, so the managers decided not to release it.
