Google made Gemini 4 Argon generally available worldwide on October 13, ending the two-week exclusivity for cybersecurity defenders. Developers, enterprises, and subscribers can now access the model through multiple routes. The introductory pricing window now has a hard end date: November 30.
At its October 8 event, Google Cloud unveiled a unified work agent: give it a goal and it plans, picks its own tools, and gets the job done across Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, and more. You can even create coworker agents with their own email addresses — close your laptop and the task keeps running in the cloud.
On October 6, Google made image generation model Nano Banana 2.1 generally available, with up to 4K output and 14-reference-image blending. The previous Gemini 3.1 Flash Image shuts down October 29 — developers need to migrate soon.
Starting October 9, Gemini users without a subscription can only use Flash-Lite — Flash and Pro are gone. The $4.99/month AI Plus also loses Pro; Pro now requires $19.99/month AI Pro at minimum. AI Pro gains Deep Think.
Google released its next-gen flagship model Gemini 4 Argon on September 30. The first flagship update in seven months: single outputs up to 1M tokens, launch pricing at $2 input / $10 output per million tokens — but first access goes only to cybersecurity defenders.
