A wave of postponements swept the AI industry this week as several next-generation models failed to launch on their scheduled dates. Google's upcoming Gemini Pro model did not appear by the end of October, and Meta's Watermelon model also remained unreleased. Gemini 4 Argon likewise was not made publicly available before mid-October.
The Gemini Pro line, expected to roll out in October, was confirmed not to have launched by October 31. A subsequent update on October 11 affirmed that the model would also not be released by November 1. Both findings pushed the anticipated release window well beyond the original schedule.
