Gemini 4 Argon, our new frontier model. Up to 1M output tokens, up from 64K. $2 in / $10 out at launch. In testing with trusted partners. Developer access as soon as possible. 👇🏻 https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-4-argon

My first time seeing unlimited human usage, but limit agent usage. Interesting.

Nano Banana 2.1 (`gemini-nano-banana-2.1`) is now available. Outperforming previous Pro model at 4x cheaper price (now $0.034 per image vs $0.134). 🕒 Improved instruction following 🔤 Better in-image text rendering 🔍 Grounded with Google Image Search 🎭 up to 5 characters consistency + 14 references images Available in @GoogleAIStudio, the Gemini API, @googlecloud, the @GeminiApp, and @FlowbyGoogle: https://aistudio.google.com/docs/image-generation

You can now use the Interactions API on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (prev. Vertex AI) with Gemini models. Same `google-genai` SDK. 👉 https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini-enterprise-agent-platform/models/capabilities/interactions

Gemini 4 Argon in now available for Pro subscribers.

SynthID Detector (http://synthid.com) is now publicly available, supporting the Nano Banana 2.1, @OpenAI, @nvidia, Kakao, and soon @Apple. 🌐 Verify if an image, video, or audio file was generated: 1️⃣ Upload or paste your file at https://synthid.com 2️⃣ Scans for watermarks from Google or our partners (files are deleted right after)

Are Agents soon going to have only 1 tool? We went from a handful of tools, to dynamic tool search, and now to collapsing everything into code mode. Wrote down how Code Mode works, why a typed JS/Python sandbox can beat raw bash, and why MCP is going to go back strong in 2027. With an a minimal example for Gemini 4 Argon. https://www.philschmid.de/code-mode If you plan to explore code mode i can recommend testing with pi! Easily hackable and comes with strong foundation.

Hey, no AI posts today. Tough day to be an engineer. If you are using Railway, LiteLLM, PHP, GitLab, Node (brotli) please check your setup. Below some helpful links and a prompt for your agent. Check even if you think you aren't impacted. Don't give up. We're in this together. Help each other out.
