Google co-founder Brin urgently takes over Gemini team as 3.5 Pro is reportedly cancelled

Chinese tech outlet QbitAI reports that Google co-founder Sergey Brin has urgently taken over the Gemini team, stepping directly into the team's management and decision-making.

The report says the shake-up comes amid severe internal friction over compute allocation at Google, where infighting over computing resources has weighed on the pace of large-model projects.

More striking, the report also claims that 3.5 Pro has been cancelled, pointing to a deeper reset in Google's large-model product roadmap.

A founder personally stepping in to run a core AI team is a rare and telling signal that Google is far from satisfied with Gemini's trajectory, and that internal resource battles have reached the highest decision-making level.

As one of the AI giants with the deepest compute reserves, Google could see the release cadence and competitiveness of its next-generation Gemini models directly affected if internal coordination problems persist.

What to watch next: how Brin restructures the Gemini team, whether compute allocation changes, and which product line will replace the cancelled 3.5 Pro.
