Gemini 4 Argon opens to more users, with paid access and new robotics claims

October 13 update: Google says Gemini 4 Argon is now globally available through its paid API, with subscription access in the Gemini app, Search and Antigravity. New robotics benchmarks and demonstrations are Google-reported, not independent evidence of general robot reliability.

A world-class forecast now fits on one machine.

Weather forecasting has spent fifty years as one of the largest users of supercomputing. AI models trained on the archive now produce comparable global forecasts in minutes, and the weights are published. The measurements they depend on are the part that has not become cheap.

A year of satellite observation, made lighter to carry.

TESSERA provides 10-meter, pixel-wise annual embeddings learned from Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2. ESA says the model first launched in 2025; its repository and a peer-reviewed CVPR 2026 paper now document the work.
