   Google releases Gemini 4 Argon for complex professional work

   Google released Gemini 4 Argon on October 19, saying it is available through the Gemini API to global developers and enterprises and to Google AI subscribers in Google Antigravity, the Gemini App and AI Mode in Search. Launch pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with a 95% discount on cached input tokens. Google says Argon leads other frontier models on benchmarks for coding, finance, legal, cybersecurity and science, including first place on the Vals index and 87% on the ERQA embodied-reasoning benchmark; those benchmark and productivity figures are vendor-reported.

   We're putting too much faith in AI's ability to say no

   A MIT Technology Review analysis argues that teaching models to refuse harmful requests — from Anthropic's "helpful, honest, harmless" framing to the red-teaming and fine-tuning OpenAI ran ahead of ChatGPT's launch — has become the load-bearing wall of AI safety. It says researchers still describe the internal activations behind refusal only as hypotheses such as "high-dimensional polyhedral cones," so companies stack classifiers in a "Swiss cheese" model; Anthropic has said one type of classifier added 24% to its chatbots' compute costs. Because refusal is probabilistic, it can be bypassed — or turned against legitimate speech when companies or governments draw the line.
