Google announces Gemini 4 AI model with restricted access

On September 30, 2026, Google unveiled its Gemini 4 AI model, named Argon, claiming it to be its most powerful version yet. However, access to Gemini 4 is currently limited to 'trusted cyber defenders'.

Why it matters

This restricts the use of advanced AI capabilities to a select group, impacting broader access and innovation in AI applications.
