Gemini 4 Argon spotted in AI Studio with new Max mode that 'works longer for better results'
AI_Andrew · x · 2026-10-17
Google AI Studio shows a new interface: a banner reading "Introducing Gemini 4 Argon" and a prompt box with a new Max mode tier alongside DEFAULT and PLAN, described as "Work longer for better results" — i.e., let the model run longer in exchange for better output.
Quick actions like Create a game, Three.js 3D scenes and Add Bioscience Skill suggest AI Studio is leaning harder into being a build-your-ideas platform. The sighting comes from a user screenshot; no official announcement yet, specs unconfirmed.
