Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin Takes Emergency Control of Gemini Team, but Gemini 3.5 Pro Reportedly Cancelled

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has reportedly returned to active involvement in the Gemini team as the company faces criticism over delayed and potentially cancelled models. Independent research firm SemiAnalysis suggests that Gemini 3.5 Pro has been quietly cancelled, and that Google's internal compute allocation, including providing TPUs to competitor Anthropic, may be hampering its own frontier model efforts.
