This review presents the current status of experimental searches and theoretical studies of antikaonic four-body K̄NNN and K̄K̄NN clusters. Theoretical approaches within the framework of non-relativistic potential models used for the investigation of four-body K̄NNN and K̄K̄NN clusters, such as the variational, Faddeev equations, and hyperspherical harmonics are considered. The results of calculations for the binding energies and the widths obtained within these methods by employing diverse sets of nucleon–nucleon, effective K̄N, and antikaon–antikaon interactions are presented, discussed, and compared with the calculations using the method of hyperspherical harmonics in momentum representation. The presented results demonstrate that the quasibound state energy of antikaonic four-body K̄NNN and K̄K̄NN clusters is not sensitive to the NN interaction, and show a very strong dependence on the K̄N potential. Despite the strong short-range repulsion due to the NN interaction in Kppp and KKpp and the weak K̄K̄ repulsion in KKpp, the antikaonic clusters Kppp and KKpp are strongly bound.
