Google launches Argon, its most powerful AI model, ahead of Gemini 4

Google has announced the launch of Argon, a top-tier artificial intelligence model set to form the backbone of its next generation of Gemini models.

The Alphabet-owned company unveiled the model after months of anticipation, positioning it as its most powerful AI offering.

Argon will underpin Gemini 4, which remains under development. Its launch marks a step toward that next generation rather than the release of Gemini 4 itself.

The announcement places Argon at the centre of Google’s upcoming AI development, though the brief information provided does not detail its capabilities or give a launch date for Gemini 4.
