Gemini 4 Pro / Flash: benchmarks, hands-on tests and leaks

Google's CEO confirmed Gemini 4 Argon will not launch today, saying it has been shared with a subset of cyber defenders through the Farron program and that Google is working to expand access safely.

A viewer of the Google Gemini stream says the CEO promised regular users would get Gemini 4 Argon "soon", while the event moved on to describing another chatbot competitor.

Sundar Pichai said Google is working to get Gemini 4 Argon to more people safely and quickly, with access today expanding only to more customers rather than the public.

A user jokes that Gemini 4 Argon and Gemini 3.5 Pro 2.0 have different names but are both still only "coming soon."

The poster first said Argon was open to more consumers, then corrected that it is enterprise-only and coming soon to consumers.

The poster complains that Google announced Gemini 4 Argon nine days ago without releasing it, and worries it may test worse than Haiku 5.5.

A post with an image states directly that Gemini 4 Argon is live, offering a clue on whether the model has actually opened up.

The author denies that Gemini 4 Argon launches today, saying the claim it would drop alongside a Google livestream was only an assumption based on the event schedule.

At today's Google event announcing Gemini at Work enterprise features, Pichai mentioned Argon and said Gemini now has one billion users.

Citing Google, the post says the company is working to bring Gemini 4 Argon to more people as safely and quickly as possible, but it did not open today.

A user says an event opened with Gemini 4 Argon and wonders whether it will be officially released today.

A video creator says the little hype they had for Gemini 4 Argon is now completely gone.
