# Gemini 3.5 Pro Delayed to July 17 for Complete Architectural Rebuild

> Google delayed Gemini 3.5 Pro's general release to July 17, undertaking a complete architectural rebuild after early enterprise testing surfaced three linked problems: token-efficiency shortfalls that wasted context, coding performance that lagged the frontier, and multi-step reasoning that fell short of the bar set at I/O. The new version ships with a 2M token context window, a Deep Think Reasoning Layer for complex problem-solving, and autonomous workflow capabilities. Google's willingness to miss deadlines rather than ship a weak flagship model contrasts with the industry's broader race to announce capability first. The July 17 target is firm, and the technical overhaul suggests credible confidence in the revision.
