Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and team member Logan Kilpatrick announced that the open-source model Gemma 4 is imminent.

Abstract generation in progress

According to 1M AI News monitoring, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis posted four diamond emojis (???) on X. Earlier, Logan Kilpatrick, a member of the Google technical team and the head of Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, posted with only a single word: 「Gemma」. The two posted almost simultaneously, and this was widely interpreted as a signal that Google’s open-source model Gemma 4 is about to be released.

There have already been signs of leakage. On the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, an anonymous model with the codename 「significant-otter」 appeared; when users pressed for its identity, it claimed 「I am Gemma 4, a large language model developed by Google DeepMind」. Users in the Reddit community r/LocalLLaMA reported that the model responds quickly, is not an inference model, and passed the community’s commonly used basic capability tests.

Google has not yet officially announced Gemma 4. The previous generation, Gemma 3, is Google’s lightweight model family for the open-source community. It supports running on a single GPU or TPU and has multilingual, multimodal, and long-context capabilities, with a good reputation in the open-source community.
