Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model.
It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.

The mark of a great professor isn’t just the papers they publish. It’s the people they help build.
I’ve been asked several times whether Zhilin Yang, the founder of @Kimi_Moonshot was my PhD student. The answer is yes and he is absolutely brilliant.
But I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with so many outstanding PhD students over the years. So I thought I’d brag a little about them and their career paths (of course there are also many MSc and undergraduate students, sorry if I missed anyone):

🚨Breaking: @GoogleDeepMind’s latest Gemini-2.5-Pro is now ranked #1 across all LMArena leaderboards 🏆
Highlights:
- #1 in all text arenas (Coding, Style Control, Creative Writing, etc)
- #1 on the Vision leaderboard with a ~70 pts lead!
- #1 on WebDev Arena, surpassing Claude for the first time
This is the first-ever sweep across text, vision, and WebDev by any model!🥇
Huge congrats to @GoogleDeepMind on this incredible breakthrough!
We’re releasing an updated Gemini 2.5 Pro (I/O edition) to make it even better at coding. 🚀
You can build richer web apps, games, simulations and more - all with one prompt.
In @GeminiApp, here's how it transformed images of nature into code to represent unique patterns 🌱

This quick experiment I just did made my jaw drop...
You can literally create and play any game by iterating over images with the new Gemini model! 🤯

Gemini can generate pretty consistent gif animations too:
'Create an animation by generating multiple frames, showing a seed growing into a plant and then blooming into a flower, in a pixel art style'

Anyone who has been in this room knows that it’s never just another day in here! This space has seen the extremes of chaos and genius!
...and we ship!

Excited to share an early preview of our gemini 2.0 flash thinking model with all it's raw thoughts visible.
Here's the model trying to solve a Putnam 2024 with multiple approaches, and then self-verifies that it's answer was correct.

The new Gemini 2.0 Flash model debuts as the #3 model overall on the @lmarena_ai leaderboard, and #1, 2 or 3 in all the various subcategories. Pretty great for such a low latency model!
Breaking News from Chatbot Arena⚡
@GoogleDeepMind Gemini-2.0-Flash debuts at #3 Overall - a massive leap from Flash-002!
Highlights (improvement from Flash-002):
- Overall: #11 → #3
- Hard Prompts: #15 → #2
- Coding: #22 → #3
- Longer query: #8 → #1
- Overall style-controlled: #19 → #3
- Hard style-controlled: #25 → #2
The pace of improvement is absolutely astounding! Excited to see the new wave of applications powered by Flash. More analysis below👇

We’re kicking off the start of our Gemini 2.0 era with Gemini 2.0 Flash, which outperforms 1.5 Pro on key benchmarks at 2X speed (see chart below). I’m especially excited to see the fast progress on coding, with more to come.
Developers can try an experimental version in AI Studio and Vertex AI today. It is also available to try in @GeminiApp on the web today, mobile coming soon.

This took some cooking, Project Mariner is out to automate tasks in your browser!
Check out benchmark results, 90.5% on Webvoyager.
Excited for this to be released to Trusted Testers. The world as we know it is about to change—much sooner than we think :)

We've released an early version of Project Mariner to trusted testers.
Project Mariner is an early research prototype built with Gemini 2.0 that explores the future of human-agent interaction. As a research prototype, it’s able to understand and reason across information in your browser screen, including pixels and web elements like text, code, images and forms, and then uses that information via an experimental Chrome extension to complete tasks for you.
Watch the video below for a sense of what it can do ⬇️
