Google has announced Gemini 4 Argon as its new frontier model, featuring a 1M output token limit (up from 64K) and claimed leads on coding, cybersecurity, and automation benchmarks. The model is rolling out first to Google AI Ultra subscribers and paid API customers.

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says the company is prioritizing token efficiency and compact, single-purpose models over general-purpose frontier systems. New models MAI-Cyber-1-Flash and MAI-Image-2.5-Flash claim strong cost-performance gains, but rely on an orchestration layer that still routes hard tasks to OpenAI's reasoning models.

The U.S. Commerce Department has cleared Anthropic to restore access to its Mythos 5 AI model for select cybersecurity partners, two weeks after imposing export controls over jailbreak concerns. The related Fable 5 model remains under government restrictions.
