Gemini 4 Argon now available in GitHub Copilot

Google's Gemini 4 Argon frontier model is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, designed for complex coding, agentic, and reasoning tasks to enhance developer productivity.

Gemini 4 Argon, Google’s newest frontier model, is now generally available in GitHub Copilot. It is designed for complex coding, agentic, and reasoning tasks. In early testing, Gemini 4 Argon solved more tasks than previous Gemini models on every coding benchmark, with its largest gains in Copilot CLI. It also thoroughly checks its work, testing edge cases before it finishes.

This model is billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing. See Models and pricing for GitHub Copilot for details.

Gemini 4 Argon is available to Copilot Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users. You can select the model in the model picker in:

  • Visual Studio Code

  • JetBrains IDEs

Rollout will be gradual. Check back soon if you don’t see it yet.
