What it is
Gemini 4 Argon is Google's newest AI model. In a Google DeepMind demo, it watched a person throw a cornhole bag, then wrote the practice code for an Apptronik Apollo humanoid robot itself. The robot sank seven shots in a row.
Why it matters
Teaching robots usually takes lots of hand-written code and many examples. Here the AI did the coaching. In the Gemini app, the same model can switch from chat to tasks and keep working while you're away. It's like leaving a note for a house-sitter: it builds the slide deck and drafts the email.
How to try it
Gemini Pro and Ultra subscribers can try tasks in the Gemini app now. Google's announcement and both videos are below.
