What they're building
Probably the deepest combination of AI research, compute, distribution and scientific AI in the world. Gemini 4 Argon, announced Sep 30, 2026 after months of delays, is Google's new frontier model, built for deep reasoning on long workflows with a 1M-token output limit. Gemini also powers Google Search, Workspace, Android, Waymo research, AlphaFold and Gemini Robotics.
Latest developments
- Gemini 4 Argon announced Sep 30, 2026; priced $2/$10 per million tokens during an introductory period, then $4/$20.
- Gemini 3.8 Flash reached general availability Sep 2, 2026 with a 1M context.
- Gemini Robotics 2 (July 2026) extended Gemini to physical robots, including Apptronik's Apollo.
Why it matters
Google has the compute, the data, the distribution (billions of users) and the scientific bench. If scale decides the race, Google is the hardest company to count out.
