谷歌 DeepMind 负责人 Koray Kavukcuoglu 表示，谷歌希望在年底前“尽早”发布 Gemini 4。
Google wants to release Gemini 4 “much earlier” than the end of the year, said Koray Kavukcuoglu, who runs Google DeepMind. The model is now in post-training, the stage where engineers refine its behaviour and test its safety. Google is also trying it out inside its Antigravity coding tool.
该模型目前处于训练后阶段，工程师们正在对其行为进行优化并测试其安全性。谷歌也正在其 Antigravity 编码工具中进行测试。
Kavukcuoglu spoke on stage at The Information’s AI Agenda Live conference last week. It was his first media appearance since he took over Google DeepMind. He gave no release date.
Kavukcuoglu 在上周 The Information 举办的 AI Agenda Live 会议上发表了讲话，这是他接管谷歌 DeepMind 以来的首次媒体亮相，但他并未透露具体的发布日期。他表示，团队对目前的测试结果感到兴奋，希望尽快发布。
“Our intention is to, like, as soon as possible, to release an early post-training output because we see the results and we are excited,” Kavukcuoglu told The Information. The first big launch under a new boss Demis Hassabis gave up the day-to-day running of Google DeepMind in an August reshuffle. Kavukcuoglu, the lab’s technology chief, took over, and Gemini 4 became his to deliver. Gemini’s two co-leads quit on the same day.
在 8 月的人事调整中，Demis Hassabis 不再负责谷歌 DeepMind 的日常运营，由原技术主管 Kavukcuoglu 接手，Gemini 4 的交付成为其首要任务。
Asked whether Google had fallen behind, he said he had “the utmost trust in the team”. “In my mind, it’s a certainty that we are always gonna be at the frontier,” he said.
面对关于谷歌是否落后的质疑，Kavukcuoglu 表示对团队充满信心，并坚信谷歌始终处于行业前沿。
Rivals shipped first Google’s flagship has lagged its cheaper models this year. In July, reports said its next Gemini Pro was months behind schedule after coding results fell short of internal goals. By August, Google’s cheap Flash model was two versions ahead of the flagship.
今年，谷歌的旗舰模型在发布进度上落后于其低成本模型及竞争对手，而 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 近期已相继推出新产品或调整策略。
Its rivals moved first. Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5.5 on 22 September. The same day, OpenAI cut GPT-6 prices in half with its Sol and Luna models.
