Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro Model Still Missing
Google has expanded its Gemini lineup with three new models, focusing on speed and cybersecurity, yet the anticipated 3.5 Pro model remains absent. The new releases include the 3.6 Flash, which offers efficiency upgrades but still lags behind competitors like Grok 4.5 and GPT-5.6 Luna in performance tests. Despite these additions, Google's inability to deliver the 3.5 Pro model raises concerns about its competitive edge in the AI landscape. The company is also working on Gemini 4, described as its most ambitious pre-training effort yet, but the delay of the 3.5 Pro continues to cast a shadow over its progress.

Anthropic's Fable 5 Model Retains Subscription Access
Anthropic has resolved the uncertainty surrounding its Fable 5 model by deciding to keep it available to subscribers. This decision comes after a period of shifting deadlines and user frustration, with the model now accessible under Max and Team Premium plans but with reduced usage caps. Lower-tier plans will receive a one-time $100 credit before transitioning to a pay-per-use model. The move is a response to competitive pressures from OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Moonshot's Kimi K3, both of which are expanding their offerings. While this provides some clarity for users, it also points to the ongoing challenges Anthropic faces in balancing demand and access to its AI models.
