Google Uses Gemini 4 to Make Its Open Model Nearly 3× Faster
What if an AI model could do the same work in less time, without losing the quality of its answers? That is what Google says it achieved in a recent engineering experiment, and the surprising part is that its new AI model helped improve another model rather than simply replacing it. Google reports that Gemini 4 Argon helped make Gemma 4 E2B run nearly three times faster, completing the optimization in just a few days.
