Pichai confirmed that Gemini4 has been put into training, and Google's AI flagship model will be available by the end of the year. According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai's disclosure at the second quarter earnings call in 2026, the next-generation cutting-edge model Gemini4 has been officially put into training, and Google has invested "very large resources" in this regard. According to Google's past release rhythm, Gemini4 is widely expected to be officially unveiled in November or December this year. Admitting that programming and intelligence are lagging behind, hoping that Gemini4 will catch up with the forefront, it is worth noting that Gemini 3.5 Pro was not released in June as planned, which has raised questions about the pace of Google model iteration. Faced with analysts' sharp questions about "whether Google can maintain its industry leadership," Pichai admitted that the cutting-edge model track is extremely dynamic and the competitive landscape is changing rapidly. However, he also emphasized that Google has previously launched a number of industry-leading models and continues to have advantages in multiple dimensions. Pichai did not shy away from Google's current shortcomings - he admitted that Gemini still has gaps in key areas such as programming and intelligence, and the team is highly focused on these directions. He positioned Gemini4 as a key step in narrowing the gap, saying he was "very pleased" with the current training progress and believed that the user experience would be satisfactory. Taking into account the continued leadership of Anthropic’s Claude series in the programming track and the accelerated iteration of OpenAI, whether Gemini4, which is approaching the end of the year, can fulfill Pichai’s promise will become the biggest highlight of the final battle of the AI large model in 2026. via AI News (author: AI Base)
