Rumor: Gemini 4 spotted with SOTA knowledge scores, coding near Astra/Fable 5.1 level

haider1 · x · 2026-10-01

Blogger haider claims Gemini 4 has appeared (unverified rumor):

• On benchmarks, it reportedly hits SOTA on knowledge, with coding performance around the level of Astra/Fable 5.1.
• The author calls it "not bad," but says the key question is how fast Google can push through the safety rollout before it becomes obsolete by the time Fable 5.5 and 6.1 Astra launch.

Note: the Astra/Fable naming is not a publicly confirmed model line; the whole claim remains an unconfirmed leak.
