Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, a new AI model with claimed industry-leading performance in coding, knowledge work, and cybersecurity, but it is not yet available for public use. The model is currently in limited testing with trusted testers, including partners in Google's Fairwind Program, and will eventually be available to enterprise and consumer customers. Google confirmed Gemini 4 Argon will support a 1 million token output limit, up from 64,000 tokens in previous Gemini models.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://arstechnica.com/google/2026/09/google-announces-gemini-4-argon-ai-model-but-you-cant-use-it-yet/:

> Google says models of this scale call for a phased release, so it's starting with a small group of trusted testers. Partners in the company's Fairwind Program can get access to leverage the model's cybersecurity defense capabilities.
