Google has temporarily suspended its Open Source Software Vulnerability Rewards Program (OSS VRP) due to an overwhelming influx of automated, AI-generated vulnerability reports. The company cited a majority of these submissions as invalid or hallucinated, straining reviewer resources. The pause, effective October 1, affects new submissions, with plans to update the program's structure by early 2027.
Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, a new frontier AI model it claims leads the industry in coding, knowledge work, and cybersecurity tasks. The model is not yet publicly available, though Google engineers are already using it internally, including for data center memory optimization and migrating large C/C++ codebases to Rust. Google released benchmark results showing Argon outperforming rivals like GPT-6 Astra, Fable 5.1, and Opus 5.5, and confirmed it will support a 1 million token output limit, up from 64,000 in earlier Gemini models.
