He said Google wants to release an early version as soon as possible, but gave no firm date.
The new detail is the competitive pressure behind that timetable. Yahoo Finance reports that Google’s current Gemini 3.6 Flash scored 34.0 on the Intelligence Index cited in its account, compared with 57.6 for Anthropic’s Opus 5.5, 52.7 for OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra and 47.5 for GPT-6 Sol.
Google is also moving into a market where prices and release schedules are shifting quickly. The report says Gemini 4 follows a burst of rival launches and price cuts, while Google has disclosed no architecture, parameter count, pricing or benchmark results for the new model.
