Google Gemini 3.5 Pro Faces Cancellation

This looks less like a confirmed model death than a major credibility problem for Google’s flagship roadmap.

• –Google’s official status still says Gemini 3.5 Pro is being tested, not canceled.
• –Gemini 4 references in the desktop app suggest strategic preparation, but do not prove 3.5 Pro was scrapped. (TestingCatalog)
• –Developers should avoid assuming a Gemini 3.5 Pro API endpoint and maintain fallback models until Google publishes a model ID and pricing.
• –Skipping directly to Gemini 4 would raise the stakes: Google would need a genuinely competitive flagship after months of delays and weaker coding momentum.
