UK AI Security Institute gains access to latest models including Gemini 4 Argon

UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan confirmed that the AI Security Institute is conducting evaluations of the latest generation of models, including Google’s Gemini 4 Argon, under voluntary agreements with developers. The institute works with the US government and major labs to assess capabilities and safeguards before broader deployment. This maintains the UK’s position as one of the few non-US entities with pre-release access for independent safety testing of frontier systems.
