Alphabet<\/a> shares sank 4% on Thursday following a report that the company has delayed releasing its flagship artificial intelligence<\/a> model.<\/p>\n

The search giant’s Gemini 3.5 Pro AI model is months behind schedule due to the company’s efforts to improve its performance, according to Bloomberg<\/a>, citing sources familiar with the matter. The model’s coding capabilities, in particular, were short of internal expectations and come at a time when rivals like OpenAI<\/a> and Meta<\/a> have recently debuted new AI models that outpace Google’s current offerings in generating software code, the report said.<\/p>\n

The company previously announced the Gemini 3.5 Pro AI model<\/a> in May as part of the company’s annual Google I\/O developer conference, saying at the time that it was being used internally, but wouldn’t be ready for a broader rollout until the following month.<\/p>\n

An Alphabet spokesperson told CNBC in an emailed statement that the company is “shipping quickly across a wide range of models while keeping them highly cost-effective for customers.”<\/p>\n

“We’re currently testing 3.5 Pro, an upgraded Flash model, and other models with partners, and we’re productively engaged with the U.S. government,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Code-generation has become one of the biggest use cases for AI model providers like Anthropic<\/a> and OpenAI and Chinese AI labs like Z.ai<\/a> that offer so-called open-weight variants<\/a> that developers can access for free via the open-source ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Meta debuted last week its Muse Spark 1.1 AI model<\/a>, which the company’s AI chief Alexandr Wang described as the social media giant’s “strongest model for agentic and coding work yet.”<\/p>\n

OpenAI last week released its GPT-5.6 Sol<\/a> AI model, which CEO Sam Altman<\/a> said is 54% more token efficient on agentic coding tasks<\/a>, underscoring how AI labs are pitching their respective AI coding models as being cost-effective relative to their performance.<\/p>\n
