# Gemini 3.5 Pro targets July 17 launch with 2M token context window

> Google DeepMind is reportedly targeting July 17 for the general release of Gemini 3.5 Pro, its next flagship model, though the date has not been officially confirmed. The headline number is context length, a 2 million token window, roughly double what other frontier models currently offer, enough to hold entire codebases, long document sets, or sprawling conversations in a single prompt. Google describes the model as a full architectural rebuild rather than an incremental update to Gemini 2.5 Pro, with claimed gains in math reasoning and even SVG generation. A separate Deep Think Extended Reasoning mode, meant for the hardest problems, will sit behind a $250-per-month Pro Ultra tier, extending the industry's move toward charging premiums for maximum reasoning. The launch sets up a direct clash with OpenAI's GPT-5.6 and other frontier releases, and the enormous context window is Google's clearest differentiator. Whether raw context translates into reliably better answers, rather than just more room to get lost in, is the question developers will start testing the moment it ships.
