We'll continue to gather feedback from early testers as we iterate on guardrails before making Argon available to developers, enterprises, and consumers as soon as possible.
Delivered in thirteen days. On 13 October Google opened Argon to paying developers and enterprises and to AI Ultra subscribers, its top consumer tier; other consumers were not named.
It sets a new state of the art on DeepSWE v1.1 (77.9%), which measures a model's performance in real-world long-horizon software engineering tasks.
Google's own figure for a model outsiders cannot yet run; no independent DeepSWE result for Gemini 4 Argon has been published. On Artificial Analysis's broader index it scores 53, tied for third, not first.
