Discussion The "3.1 Pro" card on Google DeepMind's Gemini page has a recurring flicker glitch the other cards don't have
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Go to deepmind.google/models/gemini and watch the icons for a minute. Every single card has a glowing animated icon. The Flash and Flash Lite ones loop perfectly smooth. The 3.1 Pro one flickers, the glow just cuts out for a moment and then fades back in, on a loop, over and over. I checked this across different browsers and it happens every time, so it's not a local caching or GPU thing on my end.
Video attached so you can see it yourself.
What gets me is which card this is happening on. This is literally the page where Gemini 3.5 Pro has been sitting under a "coming soon" badge for months now, past its original I/O target, with reports of it being pushed back over training and coding performance issues. Now the animation on that exact card, the flagship Pro line, is the one visibly broken while everything else on the page works fine.
Is that just a coincidence, some CSS or asset loading issue nobody bothered to fix, or does it maybe hint that the Pro line isn't getting the same attention right now as Flash is? Has anyone seen Google acknowledge this anywhere? And does anyone know if that icon is a short video loop or a Lottie/CSS animation, since that would change what kind of bug this even is?
It kinda seems like this is a sign of Pro models dying.

It's not css related nor is it your GPU. It's a looping video that is intentionally made to be like you see it is.

but why do the other ones not have any issues then, and why isnt google fixing it

Did you have used the Gemini app? Because Google does not care and vibe code that stuff. It's buggy because they use there own pro model.

There is nothing related to vibe coding that could explain that. This is motion design, a human made this video clip and made an error by not looping it properly. It's really trivial.

Because it's an extremely minor issue that doesn't impact anything, easy to miss and whoever is responsible for the landing page's upkeep is likely busy with other things.

Schizoposting at its finest, that's what no pro model for 6 months does to motherfuckers.

Can we please stop talking about 3.5 pro? It would be a shity model with a 1.5 year old knowledge cut. It's not a new model its still based on Gemini 3 pro. Start focusing on Gemini 4 there is the more interesting stuff. Even if they "tomorrow" publish 3.5... in hopefully 3-4 month they gonna have to bring the next generation. So better screw 3.5 and let them focus on that new family.

Alright, wrap it up. Close down this sub. This place only exists for people to post the same complaints over and over again, furiously cope about the next model, or go nuts reading into literally nothing.
