Google plans Gemini 4 release before year-end

From ComputerWorld: Google’s Gemini 4 AI model is in the early days of post-training, the phase in which a base AI model is refined to behave reliably, and should be released “much earlier” than the end of this year, Google DeepMind head Koray Kavukcuoglu told The Information at its AI Agenda Live Summit.
