Google announces Gemini 4 and says it’s so capable that only ‘trusted cyber defenders’ can have it right now

谷歌发布 Gemini 4，称其能力过于强大，目前仅限“受信任的网络防御者”使用

Google today revealed its next AI frontier model, which it’s calling Gemini 4 Argon. The new model delivers “frontier performance in complex workflows across real-world software engineering, enterprise knowledge work like legal and finance, and cybersecurity defense,” according to chief AI architect and Google DeepMind SVP Koray Kavukcuoglu. But the company is limiting access at first to a “set of trusted cyber defenders,” and Kavukcuoglu says that Google is “actively engaged in the U.S. government’s voluntary process for pre-release model access while we gradually expand access.”

谷歌今日揭晓了其下一代人工智能前沿模型，命名为 Gemini 4 Argon。据首席 AI 架构师兼 Google DeepMind 高级副总裁 Koray Kavukcuoglu 介绍，该新模型在“现实世界的软件工程、法律和金融等企业知识工作以及网络安全防御等复杂工作流程中，展现出了前沿的性能”。但谷歌目前限制了访问权限，仅向“一组受信任的网络防御者”开放。Kavukcuoglu 表示，谷歌正“积极参与美国政府关于模型发布前访问的自愿流程，同时我们将逐步扩大访问范围”。

Kavukcuoglu says Gemini 4 Argon is already powering Google’s “internal workflows,” highlighting how the model has helped with tasks like large-scale codebase migrations. Google also shared a big chart showing many benchmarks where Gemini 4 fares better than competing models from OpenAI and Anthropic. (The AI community was buzzing earlier this week on X over what appeared to be leaked benchmarks for the new model.) Google will be strengthening “critical frontier safeguards” before a broader rollout, including defending against misuse and prompt injection attacks and monitoring for misalignment.

Kavukcuoglu 表示，Gemini 4 Argon 已经开始驱动谷歌的“内部工作流程”，并强调了该模型在处理大规模代码库迁移等任务中提供的帮助。谷歌还分享了一张大型图表，展示了 Gemini 4 在多项基准测试中表现优于 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 的竞争模型。（本周早些时候，AI 社区在 X 平台上就该模型疑似泄露的基准测试数据展开了热烈讨论。）谷歌表示，在更广泛地推广之前，将加强“关键的前沿安全保障措施”，包括防御滥用和提示词注入攻击，并监控模型是否存在目标偏离问题。

The launch of Gemini 4 Argon comes just a day after OpenAI’s splashy DevDay conference, where OpenAI launched its Dots AI agent and GPT-6.1 Sol AI model. (OpenAI also said this week that it wouldn’t be releasing a planned GPT-6.1 Astra model due to worries about safety.) It’s also arriving soon after Kavukcuoglu’s appointment as the new boss of DeepMind in August.

Gemini 4 Argon 的发布距离 OpenAI 备受瞩目的开发者大会（DevDay）仅过去一天，OpenAI 在会上发布了 Dots AI 智能体和 GPT-6.1 Sol AI 模型。（OpenAI 本周还表示，出于安全担忧，将不会发布原计划中的 GPT-6.1 Astra 模型。）此外，此次发布距离 Kavukcuoglu 在 8 月被任命为 DeepMind 新掌门人不久。
