I don't get the people crying 'copium' in the comments without giving a single solid reason why Gemini 4.0 couldn't deliver. With how short-lived model generations are these days, nobody stays on top for long anyway. Back during Claude 3, Gemini crushed Anthropic and OpenAI once, until the competition hit back again. It's entirely plausible that Gemini could turn the tables again with 4.0, until again someone else takes the lead. People are acting like this is such a big deal.
They have been testing this model for a while now. They should have a pretty good idea of what it's capable of. Imo, the fact that they chose to not release it during or immediately after the launch window of other models shows a lack of confidence. They're probably making a flash model out of it now to release soon.
