Release
Gemini 4 Argon
majorGemini 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.

Omni 1.1 Flash
October 1, 2026
Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash introduces production-ready generative video capabilities including scene extension with up to 10 seconds of prior context (up to 40 seconds total), first and last frame interpolation for smooth transitions, and 4K upscaling. Developers can also generate low-resolution drafts for faster prototyping and access the model via Google AI Studio or the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
3.5 Flash-Lite
October 1, 2026
Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite now supports agentic video understanding, enabling goal-directed video analysis by dynamically fetching only the relevant moments and signals from video content. This improves accuracy while significantly reducing token consumption and costs for video analysis tasks.
3.7 Flash
October 1, 2026
Gemini 3.7 Flash now supports agentic video understanding, enabling dynamic scanning of video segments rather than static fixed-FPS processing. This reduces token consumption by up to 88%, cuts costs by up to 66%, and improves accuracy by up to 7%. It offers the best quality and cost-efficiency combination among supported models, placing it at the accuracy-to-cost pareto frontier for video analysis.
3.8 Flash
October 1, 2026
Gemini 3.8 Flash delivers substantial gains over 3.7 Flash in reasoning and coding, outperforming most larger frontier models on DeepSWE v1.1 for software engineering tasks at a fraction of the cost. It achieves 54.9% on HLE-Verified and outperforms frontier models on Vals Finance Agent V2 and Harvey's Legal Agent Benchmark. It features extended agentic loops with iterative tool use and adjustable effort levels for compute efficiency.
3.8 Flash Cyber
October 1, 2026
Google DeepMind launched Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber as part of the Fairwind Program, a limited access program for governments and trusted partners focused on cyber defense. This model is paired with the CodeMender harness to autonomously find, verify, and fix vulnerabilities at agentic scale. It delivers specialized reasoning for code fixes and patch validation at a fraction of the operating cost of traditional frontier models.
SIGNAL:capability_update:2026-10-01:cbac215d51
October 1, 2026
Google DeepMind's WeatherNext 3, the most advanced AI weather model, is now integrated into Gemini. The model provides hourly-updated, high-resolution (5km) weather forecasts using real-time geostationary satellite data, enabling Gemini to deliver significantly more accurate and localized weather information than before.
4 Argon
October 1, 2026
Gemini 4 Argon is a new frontier model focused on real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work (legal, finance), and cybersecurity defense. It features an industry-leading 1M output token limit (up from 64K) and is rolling out initially to trusted cyber defenders through the Fairwind Program. It achieves state-of-the-art results on DeepSWE v1.1 (77.9%), LVBench (91.7%), AutomationBench (51.3%), and CWE-bench v1 (68%).
3.8 Live with Live Avatar
October 1, 2026
Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar introduces near real-time visual presence to Gemini's conversational AI by pairing low-latency streaming video generation with speech. It features precise lip-syncing, natural expressions, fluid turn-taking, asynchronous tool calling, and native multilingual speech-to-speech synchronization across 97 languages. Custom avatar creation from reference images is also supported, with all output watermarked via SynthID.
3.8 Flash TTS
October 1, 2026
Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS is a new text-to-speech model enabling dynamic voice generation with an infinite library of custom voices, replacing static presets. It secured the #1 spot on Hume AI's Voice Design Benchmark (71.4) and Overall Quality Index, with support for over 100 languages. It features granular script control, dual-speaker screenplay editing, and voice replication with consent verification.
