OpenAI and Google have struck a deal bringing OpenAI's GPT 6.1 models—Astra, Sol, and Luna—to Google Cloud's Model Garden and to Antigravity, Google's agent-based coding tool. The models will be purchasable through Google Cloud Marketplace and run on Google's infrastructure, joining existing access to Gemini, Claude, and various open-source models.
Antigravity, the drone maker tied to Insta360, has released a new Follow Me bundle for its A1 drone featuring propeller guards, a watch remote and a ring remote. The accessories enable hands-free flying through gesture controls and improve subject tracking by combining visual tracking with GNSS data from the watch. The bundle is sold with the A1 drone for $799, as a standalone $340 accessory kit, or for $272 for existing A1 owners.
Antigravity is launching a new $799 version of its A1 drone that replaces the company's FPV goggles and motion controller with a wristwatch and ring for control. The 'Follow Me' kit lets users launch the drone by hand, then have it autonomously follow and film them while dodging obstacles, with manual adjustments possible via the watch's touchscreen or arm gestures using the ring. This is half the price of the original $1,599 complete headset-based setup.
Google launched Gemini 4 Argon, its newest flagship AI model, making it available globally to developers and businesses for complex tasks in coding, finance, law, cybersecurity and science. API pricing starts at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with rates doubling after November 30. Google also said it is expanding its Fairwind Program, which gives vetted cybersecurity partners a version of Argon without standard cyber guardrails, to hundreds more partners.
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 listed its new Antigravity development platform on the Play Store, but the app is built exclusively for Googlebook OS devices rather than Android phones. Android Authority sideloaded the APK onto a Pixel phone and found the interface poorly scaled, with setup failing at a Terminal VM configuration step due to a permission error.
Google has opened pre-orders for Googlebook laptops built by Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, priced between $899 and $1,299. These devices merge Android and Chrome OS into one platform, running on Arm and x86 chips, and deeply integrate with Android phones for syncing files, messages, and settings. Gemini AI powers core features including a voice-to-document tool called Rambler and an app-building agent named Antigravity.
xAI's Grok Build is a terminal-based AI coding assistant that supports mouse clicks for navigation but requires an external editor like Visual Studio Code for direct code edits, unlike rivals such as Google's Antigravity that bundle a full IDE. Users can prompt it to explain a codebase, install dependencies, run a web app, or build one from scratch and get deployment guidance, then iterate with further prompts. Access depends on a Grok plan, with free users hitting token limits quickly and paid SuperGrok tiers ($30 to $300 monthly) offering higher weekly caps.
