The pattern behind it
3 of 4
In three of the four episodes on this page Google shipped or restored the product within roughly a quarter of its original target: Bard six weeks after the demo error in 2023, Gemini 1.0 Ultra inside a quarter later that year, and image generation within weeks in 2024. Four cases on the page, four in the record. The fourth case is the 2021 departure of a lead researcher, kept because it is the only precedent for the talent variable, and scored not-held because no shipping followed from it.
Google's past AI delays rarely lasted more than three months. We looked at times when Google delayed, paused or mishandled a major AI release, and checked whether the product came out or came back within about three months of its original target. The delays were real and sometimes embarrassing. The loss of top researchers is newer and less tested.
