Story: state of ai/leading models
Context: Google's only on-record positions are that the flagship is in partner testing. Asked directly on X whether Google was skipping 3.5 Pro, Google DeepMind product lead Logan Kilpatrick replied "nope, testing with partners right now, hope we land soon!" — a hope, not a date. Neither Google statement uses the word "delay". The "months behind schedule" framing in TechCrunch and Axios is both outlets relaying a Bloomberg report of 2026-07-16 that this cycle did not fetch or verify, so it is not carried here. Unresolvable until 3.5 Pro either ships or is superseded; no forecast date was given, so it is recorded as an ordinary statement rather than tagged as a scorable prediction.
