  • Vals Index: 68.9%
  • AutomationBench: 51.3%
  • DeepSWE: 77.9%
  • Vibe Code Bench: 91.9%
  • LABBench 2: 88.8%
  • GraphWalks: Top performance in long-context tasks

Controlled Rollout and Safety

Gemini 4 Argon ships with built-in safeguards, and its initial deployment is tightly controlled.
