Josh Woodward says Gemini 4 Argon focuses on writing quality
Google's Josh Woodward says Argon targets AI slop, listification and stock phrases, using professional writers' markup as golden training data for more concise, precise output.
Josh Woodward on Gemini 4 Argon: “What we focused a lot on, hopefully everyone will feel is just writing quality” “We’ve been tracking feedback on this and there's AI slop everywhere, though, load-bearing phrases, to be honest, listification, all this stuff” “And so we made a real concerted effort to really try to just stamp that out. So it should feel more concise, more precise” “We've worked with a bunch of professional writers, and they've just been marking up the model output. And we turn those into goldens, and we climb on that” “….whether you're on the sales side, the legal side, the finance side, even writing code, obviously, it's great at.”
