Gemini 4 is almost ready, says new Google DeepMind chief
TL;DR
Google is reportedly nearing the launch of its long awaited Gemini 4 model, after dawdling behind rival developers on flagship AI releases. Speaking with The Information during his first media appearance as the leader of Google's DeepMind division, Koray Kavukcuoglu said that Gemini 4 is currently in its refinement stage, and that the company is aiming to launch the model "much earlier" than the end of the year.
Nauti's Take
An early Gemini 4 release would be a good opportunity for anyone using Google models in Workspace or via the API, since competitive pressure usually brings better pricing and faster updates. The risk is that an early post-training build may feel unfinished, with uneven quality and shifting behavior.
Teams should test Gemini 4 on their own tasks before switching production workflows.
