In @googlechrome, Gemini 4 Argon helped our team separate core webpage handling from a 6-million-line legacy folder of browser features in Chromium’s 40-million-line codebase — completing months of work in just weeks.

The result for Chrome's billions of users: eliminating an ser crashes, and letting live webpages move fluidly between tabs, side panels, and floating windows without reloading.

Software engineers at Google using Argon in @antigravity are shipping high-quality code faster than ever.

Over the past few weeks, agentic code submissions increased by more than 35% — while cutting code rollbacks by nearly a third.

For Google's open-source Agent Development Kit (ADK), the team gave Argon a skills rulebook and one goal: eliminate framework overhead without breaking existing apps.

Working autonomously overnight, Argon surfaced optimizations that cut in-memory session prep time by 40% in long ld imports by 21%.

Our researchers also used Argon in @antigravity to optimize xTB, one of the most-cited open-source quantum chemistry packages for predicting molecules' 3D shapes and screening drug and materials candidates.

They made xTB up to 2.3x faster at predicting molecular structures and r search, contributing the changes to the official xTB repository on GitHub → goo.gle/4s6dko0

Gemini 4 Argon is also speeding up our @googlegemma open models — making them nearly three times as fast.

In just a few days, Argon optimized Gemma 4 E2B to achieve a 2.85x inference speedup on an A100 via vLLM, jumping from ~37,900 to over 108,000 tokens per second with 100% token parity and zero quality drop.

Here’s that speedup in action, generating 64 live Python simulations at once ↓

@Google I followed the commit link. The full 158-turn run takes 14% less time with dummy models/tools; the ~40% is the long-session prep saving. Those are two different waits, and it’s useful to see both timed.
