My first OBSERVATIONS from Sundar's Gemini 4 Argon announcement: 1. Quantum. Google's quantum researchers gave Argon a key piece of quantum software to shrink, and in minutes it found a version that needs 40% fewer qubits and operations than the best published human solution. Quantum computers are useful ONLY once programs fit on the hardware, so this pulls that date closer from the software side, and it also shortens the time banks and governments have to switch to encryption quantum can't…

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon! It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback. Here’s a look at the benchmarks:
