Google announces Gemini 4 Argon AI model, but you can't use it yet
Google promised Gemini 3.5 Pro in June, but it spent the summer trotting out smaller Flash models. Now, Google is ready to take on the frontier again with Gemini 4 Argon. The company claims this new AI offers industry-leading performance in coding, knowledge work, and cybersecurity, but you aren't allowed to use it yet. While most of us will have to wait to test Gemini 4, Google says engineers inside the company are already using the new model extensively. Argon reportedly used "fleet-wide telem
Get smart on it
Google has announced a new AI model called Gemini 4 Argon that the company claims offers industry-leading performance in coding, knowledge work, and cybersecurity, but the model is not yet available to the general public. Currently, only Google engineers and a small group of trusted testers through the company's Fairwind Program can access it, with one partner reportedly using it to discover a critical vulnerability in a hospital system. The model supports a significantly higher output limit of 1 million tokens compared to 64,000 tokens in previous Gemini models, allowing users to complete more complex tasks in a single step. Google plans a phased release starting with cybersecurity testing, followed by availability to paid API users and Google AI Ultra subscribers, though no specific timeline has been provided.
