Google announces Gemini 4 and says it’s so capable that only ‘trusted cyber defenders’ can have it right now
Google announced a new AI frontier model called Gemini 4 Argon, which chief AI architect and Google DeepMind SVP Koray Kavukcuoglu said delivers "frontier performance in complex workflows across real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work like legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense."
Access to the model is initially restricted. Kavukcuoglu said Google is limiting it at first to a "set of trusted cyber defenders." He added that Google is "actively engaged in the U.S. government's voluntary process for pre-release model access while we gradually expand access."
Kavukcuoglu also said Gemini 4 Argon is already powering Google's services, without further specifics in the available material.
No details were provided on the size of the initial trusted-defender group, the timing for broader availability, or the specific capabilities behind the cybersecurity framing.
