Comment by tacomonstrous 15 hours ago Looks like Google's given up on frontier models for external consumption? 10 comments tacomonstrous Reply heyjamesknight 15 hours ago Gemini 4 pre training is underway: https://x.com/OfficialLoganK/status/2079594867161022817My guess is we skip 3.5 and go straight to 4 Pro.

Given up frontier models for selling compute.
