Gemini
google‘s proprietary, closed-weight frontier model family — the premium track opposite the open-weight gemma-4 family. Delivered via API and Google products rather than self-hosted weights (contrast gemma-4‘s Apache-2.0 self-host model; cf. open-weight-models). This page anchors the Gemini line; specific releases are dated snapshots (llm-benchmarks).
Releases tracked here
- Gemini 3.5 (May 2026) — positioned as “frontier intelligence for agents and coding,” with multi-step workflow capability google-ai-updates-may-2026. Google’s bid at the agent/coding frontier where anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI compete.
- Gemini Omni (May 2026) — multimodal generation producing video from image + audio + video + text input google-ai-updates-may-2026. Extends the frontier into generative video, distinct from the input-multimodality of the open gemma-4-12b-announcement.
- Gemini for Science (May 2026) — a science-focused tooling line.
Positioning
Gemini is the closed frontier half of google‘s dual-track strategy: it carries the proprietary llm-benchmarks / llm-api-pricing premium while gemma-4 seeds the open ecosystem and developer mindshare. The May 2026 framing — agents + coding — places Gemini directly against the proprietary reasoning leaders (anthropic, OpenAI) on the axis this wiki’s synthesis watches: whether the frontier premium survives.
