Google's Gemini 3.5 Pro is about to make the most common AI frustration — the model forgetting everything you told it — essentially obsolete for most real-world tasks. A 2-million-token context window means the AI holds more in memory at once than most people will ever need in a single session. Gemini 3.5 Pro is currently in limited Vertex AI enterprise preview with general availability expected by June 30. The model's 2-million-token window is the largest in any production frontier model right now — enough to hold 15 full novels — and its new Deep Think reasoning mode adds step-by-step logic for complex problems. The catch: Deep Think is gated behind a $250/month Ultra tier, signaling a hard split between casual and power users. Full breakdown of what this means for your actual workflow — not just the specs — in today's episode. New AI news every weekday — subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's story.
