Gemini 4 Argon is amazing for knowledge work and coding - and it’s super fun to build with! We asked it to create this wizard chess game and it’s so cool to see Argon’s physics understanding & 3D modelling capabilities, makes me nostalgic for Battlechess on the Amiga - fun times!
Argon is rolling out today to Google Ultra and Pro subscribers in the @GeminiApp and Search, and Ultra subscribers in @antigravity! More info & full availability in the blog: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/introducing-gemini-4-argon/
