Google Nears Release of Flagship Gemini 4 AI Model

theinformation.com/articles/google-nears-release-flagship-gemini-4-ai-model Kavukcuoglu, head of Google's DeepMind division, said on Wednesday that Google is set to unveil its latest flagship model, Gemini 4. This development has been highly anticipated, as the tech giant has lagged behind rivals Anthropic and OpenAI in the AI model race. Kavukcuoglu added that Gemini 4 is currently in the early stages of "post-training" development - fine-tuning the underlying AI model. He stated that he hopes the model will be released "well before" the end of this year. "Our intention is to roll out an early post‑training version as soon as possible, because we've already seen promising results and are very excited," he said. Google will then "continue iterating at a rapid pace."
