Google is currently evaluating a new Gemini Flash checkpoint on the LM Arena platform. The unreleased model is expected to launch as either Gemini 3.6 or Gemini 4.
The testing indicates an aggressive push to advance capabilities as the current standard, Gemini 3.5 Flash, faces stiff competition. Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 currently holds the top position in quality benchmarks, with prediction markets giving Google a 13% probability of leading the AI race by the end of 2026.
Official details and performance specifications are expected to be confirmed at the upcoming Google IO event.
