Gemini 3.5 Pro Glimpse: Google's Anxiety and DeepSeek's Shadow

I noticed an interesting detail: Gemini 3.5 Pro only stayed on Arena for a few hours before disappearing, like a hasty field test that didn't even have time to put up a sign. Meanwhile, that photo spelling out "DEEPSEEK" on a wooden table feels like some kind of silent metaphor—Google's model hasn't even found its footing yet, and Chinese open-source models have already become a symbol.
