Google rolled out Gemini 4 Argon with an update that embeds its Antigravity agent-based coding platform directly into the Gemini macOS app, accessible via a new Liquid Glass pill in the top-right corner. The Gemini app also added a Chat/Task switcher, a Scheduled view, search repositioning, and replaced slash commands with @ mentions for Skills, while renaming Connected Apps to Connectors. Antigravity access requires an AI Ultra subscription, while the new Gemini 4 Argon model itself needs AI Pro or higher.
Google has widened access to its Gemini 4 Argon model, previously limited to AI Ultra subscribers at launch, so it now reaches both AI Pro and AI Ultra tiers in the Gemini app and AI Mode. The model also appears in Google Antigravity and its CLI, though that integration still requires an AI Ultra subscription. Google says the model offers more direct answers, better adherence to style instructions, improved coding performance, and a new toggle in the Gemini app for macOS to switch between chat and agentic coding tasks.
Google DeepMind has expanded access to Gemini 4 Argon beyond its initial cybersecurity-focused rollout, making it available to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers, enterprises, and developers through Android Studio, Google AI Studio and Antigravity. Introductory pricing starts at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, rising to $4 and $20 respectively after November 30.
Google has started a wider rollout of its Gemini 4 Argon model in the Gemini app and Antigravity coding tool, restricting access to paying subscribers, with lower-tier plans not getting full capabilities. The company says the model's reasoning and safety features, including a misalignment monitor, remain unchanged from benchmarks published last month. Google cited internal uses, including efficiency gains on YouTube's comment system and bug discoveries in Project Wing's drone simulator, as evidence of Argon's capabilities.
Google has broadened availability of its Gemini 4 Argon AI model beyond the Fairwind Program to developers via the Gemini API and Antigravity platform, and to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers through the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search. Introductory pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through November 30, after which costs double. Google says Argon handles complex tasks in finance, coding, creative writing and cybersecurity, and VP Josh Woodward noted it responds faster with fewer hedges and can surface answers while still processing longer queries.
Google has released Gemini 4 Argon, a new frontier AI model it says matches or beats GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Opus 5.5 on benchmarks spanning coding, cybersecurity, science, finance and law. The model is rolling out to Gemini app Pro and Ultra subscribers, AI mode in Search, and Ultra users of the Antigravity development platform, starting at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens before prices double in late November.
Google has detailed Gemini Spark, an AI personal assistant first announced at its May I/O conference, that can take background 'proactive action' on tasks assigned by users. It works across Google Workspace apps including Docs, Calendar, Slides and Gmail, and draws on Personal Intelligence to tailor suggestions using data from a user's Google apps. Example uses cited include building an email style guide from past responses or setting up an internship tracker.
Google has officially unveiled the Fitbit Edge, a new fitness wearable positioned between the Fitbit Air and Pixel Watch. The device offers over 50 exercise modes, a 40 percent GPS accuracy improvement, 15 percent better sleep stage detection, and a Health Guardian feature that flags shifts in metrics like blood pressure or insulin resistance. It also supports Gemini-powered Google Health Coach for subscribers and features a swappable 65mAh battery that charges fully in 90 minutes.
Google has replaced Google Assistant with Gemini in its Google Built-in infotainment platform, now live across sixteen car brands. New features include AI-enhanced Google Maps with real-time traffic and EV routing, voice control over messages and email, playlist creation, food ordering, and a camera-enabled Gemini Live mode for discussing surroundings. The rollout began earlier this summer with Android Auto before expanding to automakers including Honda, Chevrolet and Volvo.
Apple told the European Commission it has agreed to offer jobs to certain Huxe AI employees and obtain a non-exclusive license to the startup's intellectual property. The disclosure came shortly after Huxe, a personalized podcast app founded by former NotebookLM contributors, announced on May 21 it was shutting down, pulling its app from stores and deleting user data. Apple's filing does not specify which employees were offered jobs or whether they accepted, nor does it detail Apple's plans for the technology.
Owners of foldable phones say they cannot place outgoing calls through Android Auto when their devices are closed, with one user receiving a prompt to 'flip open to continue.' Reports on Reddit and in Google and Motorola support forums indicate incoming calls still work fine, and several affected users say the problem began after they started using Gemini. Google and Motorola representatives have been gathering details from affected users but have not confirmed a cause.
Easy Fox, maker of the voice-controlled Steam demo Teach My Little Sister How To Drive, says a 20-fold surge in players has pushed its daily AI spending past $1,000. The game relies on Google Gemini and a ChatGPT fallback to interpret voice commands, and the studio took out a bank loan to keep the free demo running. Easy Fox says the paid release will fold AI usage costs into the purchase price rather than charging players per token.
