Gemini 4 Launch Accelerated as Alphabet Shares Rebound

Alphabet Inc.'s shares rebounded overnight after a two-session drop of nearly 5%, driven by investor concerns over competition from Meta's Muse AI agent.

GOOGL stock rose 0.6% in overnight trading, following its worst drop in more than a month.

Koray Kavukcuoglu, head of Google DeepMind, announced that Gemini 4 has entered the early stages of post-training and is expected to launch 'much earlier' than initially anticipated, possibly before year-end.
