Over the next 28 days, each day we’ll either ship one thing that is a clear improvement and relevant for most codex/work users or ship a full reset. Let the improvements begin.
Big news: Gemini 4 Argon (High) by @GoogleDeepMind just landed #1 in Text Arena with 1525 pts, and #8 in Code Arena: WebDev with 1679 pts!
This release has reshaped the Text Arena Pareto frontier with a blended $8/MToken! Gemini 4 Argon (High) is now the most cost efficient model, see its placement on Pareto frontier below.
In the Text Arena, Gemini 4 Argon (High) ranks #1 in Coding, Hard Prompts, Instruction Following, Longer Query, and Creative Writing. It also leads every occupational domain evaluated, with additional #1 spots in English, Non-English, Chinese, and Russian.
This model is +20 points above the #2 ranked Claude Opus 4.6 (High), and a huge leap from Google’s previous release, Gemini 3.8 Flash (High) at #11!
In Code Arena: WebDev, Gemini 4 Argon (High) gained +96 points from Gemini 3.8 Flash (High), and went from #29 to #8.
Congrats to the @GoogleDeepMind team on this impressive frontier release!
Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model.
It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.
