Gemini 4 Argon
Gemini 4 Argon, a 2026‑10‑13 general‑purpose model, continues to serve as Gemini’s action‑planning engine. A recent experiment tied to Gemini Robotics showed that Gemini 4 Argon could decompose a user‑instructed task into steps that Genie 4 simulated in real time, demonstrating integration between Gemini 4 Argon and the world model. Gemini 4 Argon is used to tie Genie 4 work to Gemini Robotics research. Gemini 4 Argon, via Genie 4, simulates Apptronik’s Apollo humanoid robot playing checkers without using a real robot. Gemini 4 Carbon will launch at the same introductory price as Argon ($2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens). Gemini 4 Carbon builds on Gemini 4 Argon, which was launched two weeks ago. Gemini 4 Argon is the previous top model before Gemini 4 Carbon Gemini 4 Carbon is a slightly better version of Gemini 4 Argon. Gemini 4 Carbon is apparently twice as likely to generate code that is free of vulnerabilities as Gemini 4 Argon. Gemini 4 Carbon was released two weeks after Gemini 4 Argon Gemini 4 Carbon overtops Gemini 4 Argon in the Text Arena (1,528 vs 1,520 points) Gemini 4 Carbon generates 2.3 times as many reasoning tokens as Gemini 4 Argon Gemini 4 Carbon generates 64% more output tokens than Gemini 4 Argon Gemini 4 Carbon offers significant gains over Argon in coding, agentic tasks, and cybersecurity Google released Gemini 4 Argon during the quarter· Entity summary generated by Graphiti
