Abstract

I present some of the highlights of the Gaia mission on massive stars and discuss what the fourth data release (DR4) will bring in late 2026. In the first part of the contribution I describe the different types of Gaia products available now and for DR4 and their caveats. In the second part I present the most significant results on massive stars regarding parameter determination, binaries, photometric variability, stellar groups, and the sample and spatial distribution.
