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.
