Google 发布 Gemini 4 Argon，称其为迄今最强大的模型

Google 母公司 Alphabet 已发布 Gemini 4 Argon。这是一款旨在处理编程、研究和写作等多种任务的新 AI 模型。但据 Google 表示，Gemini 4 Argon 尤其擅长网络安全工作。

Argon 目前仅通过 Google 的安全计划 Fairwind Program，向该公司的部分网络安全合作伙伴逐步开放。该模型经过专门训练，可用于防御性网络安全工作；公司称，它能够“自主发现、验证并修复关键软件漏洞”。

Google 还称，Argon 在编程和工程任务上表现出色，并指出其内部员工已经在日常工作中使用该模型，包括调试以及代码库迁移。Google 也强调了 Argon 解析视觉信息的能力——无论是分析长视频内容，还是解读图表。

“Argon 专为在复杂、长期的工作流中持续进行深度推理而打造，正在从根本上改变我们在 Google 的工作和构建方式，”该公司周三在一篇博客文章中表示。

顶级 AI 实验室正竞相发布能力不断增强的模型，试图超越彼此，尽管这些公司同时也警告称，AI 可能会失去控制。不久前，OpenAI 发布了 Astra——并称其为迄今最强大的模型。今年早些时候，Anthropic 的 Fable也已发布，该公司同样使用了类似的宣传措辞。

各家公司一直在努力将自己的服务宣传为优于竞争对手。在博客中，Google 声称，Argon 在多项 AI 基准测试中的得分显著高于 OpenAI 的 GPT-6 Astra，以及 Anthropic 的 Fable 和 Opus 模型。Google 援引 Vals——一家日益受欢迎的 AI 基准测试初创公司——的数据，称 Argon 目前位居该公司 AI 模型指数榜首。

Google 曾一度被认为在“AI 竞赛”中落后，但近期已凭借 Gemini 获得成功。该公司于 8 月宣布，其应用月活跃用户已超过 10 亿。这一指标使其能够与 OpenAI 竞争；OpenAI 最近也宣布，ChatGPT 的月活跃用户数已达到 10 亿。

Google parent company Alphabet has launched Gemini 4 Argon, a new AI model built to handle a variety of tasks such as coding, research, and writing. But it’s cybersecurity that Gemini 4 Argon is supposed to have a particular knack for, according to Google.

Argon is only being rolled out to a select group of the company’s cyber partners through its Fairwind Program, Google’s security initiative. The model was trained specifically for defensive cyber work, and the company says it can “autonomously find, validate, and patch critical software vulnerabilities.”

Argon is also said to be good at coding and engineering, with the company noting that its own staff have already been using the model for their daily work, including debugging and codebase migrations. Google also touts Argon’s ability to parse visuals — whether that’s analyzing the contents of long videos or charts.

“Built to sustain deep reasoning across complex, long-horizon workflows, Argon is fundamentally changing the way we work and build at Google,” the company said in a blog post Wednesday.

Top AI labs have rushed to release increasingly powerful models, attempting to outdo each other even as those very same firms warn that AI could spin out of control. Not long ago, OpenAI released Astra — which it hailed as its best model yet. Earlier this year, Anthropic’s Fable was also released with similar rhetoric from the company.

Firms have done their best to market their services as superior to their competitors. In its blog, Google claims that Argon scored significantly higher than OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra and Anthropic’s Fable and Opus models across a variety of AI benchmarks. It cites Vals – an increasingly popular AI benchmarking startup — to show that Argon is currently the leading model on the company’s AI model index.

Once considered “behind” in the “AI race,” Google has recently enjoyed success with Gemini. The company announced in August that its app had over a billion users per month, a metric that makes it competitive with OpenAI, which also recently announced that ChatGPT had reached a billion monthly users.
