Release

Gemini 4 Argon

major

Gemini 4 Argon introduces frontier-level cyberdefense capabilities designed to give defenders an advantage over attackers, with significantly improved performance on cybersecurity tests (solving all 12 end-to-end simulated cyberattack scenarios, up from five in the previous generation). The model features enhanced safety with violations reduced nearly twofold on adversarial stress tests, three layers of real-time protection against jailbreaks, and an automated misalignment monitor. It also includes improved boundary-respecting behavior for agentic tasks, with shortcut/cheating attempts dropping to just 2% on coding benchmarks.
