“We have already started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4, and can't wait to share more.”blog
Sundar Pichai then reiterated the same point on Alphabet’s Q2 2026 earnings call, describing Gemini 4 as Google’s next frontier base model and saying Google was seeing progress at the frontier.blog

Important distinction: Gemini 4 vs. Gemma 4
Some online discussion mixes up Gemini 4 with Gemma 4. They are different:
- Gemini 4: unreleased frontier model in pre-training.blogblog
- Gemma 4: separately released open-weight model family.deepmind9to5google
So if you see “4” branding in Google AI sources, it may refer to Gemma 4, not Gemini 4.deepmind9to5google
Bottom line
The only solid evidence is that Google is training Gemini 4. Everything else—release timing, variants, benchmarks, pricing, and availability—remains unannounced.blogblog
