Pichai: Gemini 4 Argon hits ~25T tokens in first 72 hours
Sundar Pichai says Argon used almost 25 trillion tokens in its first 72 hours, about 3x Gemini 3.0, that Google is capacity constrained serving it, and that some areas still need improvement.
Sundar Pichai reveals Gemini 4 Argon hit almost 25 trillion tokens in its first 72 hours, 3x Gemini 3.0, and Google is capacity constrained serving it “We took our time with it. We made sure we tested it safely and deployed it carefully. We took a bit longer than our other models, given its capabilities." "But I think across the board, be it for agentic work, knowledge work, coding, creative tasks, I think Argon is one of the really good frontier models." "And in the first 72 hours since we launched, it’s almost up to 25 trillion tokens used, which is about 3x what Gemini 3.0 had in the first 72 hours." "And we are capacity constrained as we are serving it." "So excited, but there are always areas, both the frontier is just last. It’s very dynamic and you have to keep evolving the models. And there are areas which we can see we need to improve as well. So we’ll be at work on all of that as well.”
