According to the WSJ, 3.5 Pro is reportedly being skipped entirely, making Gemini 4 the next flagship model after post-training.

A month is not enough time for any meaningful change in an organization the size of Deepmind/Google. These models were surely the result of work streams and teams that started under Demis. I think Demis can safely feel proud Deepmind is getting back on track.

Reports are that he checked out of day to day work well before his reassignment.

Sometimes it is hard for a scientist by nature to build and iterate and lead revenue generating products.

Wow, that activated a long dormant neuron. IIRC 3.11 main purpose was to make the 3.1 in OS/2 incompatible.

Popular claim by IBM PR, but the issue was that OS2fW component (which reused locally-installed Windows 3.x) had binary patches it applied to windows core component to turn it from DPMI host (which owns 32bit pagetable etc.) into DPMI client so that Windows would call to OS/2 for handling paging setup, and other details of interop.

The patches were made for Windows 3.1, but not for Windows 3.11 - since the changes resulted in binaries with different offsets, Windows 3.11 used under OS2fW would fail.
