Pichai confirms RSI was key to Gemini 4's development; 25T tokens in 72 hours
量子位 · wechat · 2026-10-24
QbitAI distills Sundar Pichai's interview with Alex Kantrowitz, headlined by his confirmation that RSI was a key助力 in developing Gemini 4 Argon — with agents set to dig deeper into model R&D next year.
Key points:
- Gemini 4 Argon hit nearly 25 trillion tokens within 72 hours, 3x Gemini 3.0's同期 pace; Google is still compute-constrained
- In the 4 weeks after Argon's launch, internal CLs grew 30% and rollbacks fell by nearly a third
- The frontier is heading to multi-agent collaboration; everyone will have always-on multi-agent systems, and Gemini Agent will connect Search and Gmail
- Google will sacrifice some cloud revenue to secure compute for frontier research
- On safety: defense-in-depth beyond alignment, real-time monitoring and telemetry, plus a call for independent cross-industry audits
- Space data centers are a reasonable answer to exponential compute demand
