Gemini 4 Argon is amazing for knowledge work and coding - and it’s super fun to build with! We asked it to create this wizard chess game and it's so cool to see Argon's physics understanding & 3D modelling capabilities, makes me nostalgic for Battlechess on the Amiga -... fun times! Argon is rolling out today to Google Ultra and Pro subscribers in the Google Gemini and Search, and Ultra subscribers in Google Antigravity! More info & full availability in the blog:show more

Congrats sir, had lots of fun playing around with this

Damn, this looks so good. Need to have a proper look at it.

wizard chess is such a good test prompt. the black pieces already look properly menacing, that hat silhouette is great

Flashbacks for some of us

idk..i have never seen such beautiful graphics from opus or astra..this is insane

Ok we will put it to the test

This looks so cool! Love seeing the creative things Argon can build.

Game studios might be in trouble...

Battle Chess on Amiga! I was thinking the same when I saw this.. great times 🤓

- What strikes me is how quickly the question is changing from can the model build this? to can the model keep building correctly over a long trajectory? Physics, 3D, code, tools, planning , all of that is becoming one continuous system. And the longer that system works, the more important it becomes to observe not only the final result, but whether the trajectory still matches the original intent. Capability is getting impressive. Now observability has to catch up.

This is actually cool

omg haha this reminds me of the harry potter chess! very cool!

will Google ai pro plan get it in antigravity or not. Why do I see this.

Looking forward to trying it!

Battlechess nostalgia lands. Frontier demos keep getting prettier. The boring question is still who owns the mistake when the piece goes through the board in production.

Battlechess was the game that made me want to build games. Now one prompt gets you a 3D wizard chess with physics. This is exactly why I'm excited about the frontier race. Every jump makes building games faster and gets us closer to curing diseases.

But can it make Black & White 3?

love the fine print: "screen images simulated, results for illustrative purposes." every AI launch in one sentence

You work for an evil empire that, along with you, sucks up to a fascist total moron who is sending armed thugs into our streets to terrorize our neighbors & sending our young people to die in a stupid war with Iran, bombing children's schools & driving up all our costs of living.

When will Google acquire ineffable intelligence?

Thank you for all of your hard work, Demis 😊👍🏼

Can’t wait to benchmark it on @turingcom CEOBench

wizard chess with real physics from a frontier model. Demis really said vibe code my childhood 🤩🤩🤩🤩

how many attempts did the chess demo take?

battle chess shipped in 1988 with the pieces killing each other in full animation, and it only took until 2026 for the pieces to start writing the game too

I'm trying to build something similar but different game

I really hope it comes to Pro too. Don’t leave us out. A lot of people use Pro to try things first before upgrading to higher plans, so excluding Pro would be a huge mistake.

Wizard chess is the new hello world. Same physics demo needs to survive a 10k-line refactor nobody filmed.

If a lead only lasts a few months, it’s a technology edge—not a durable moat.

wait it built the whole chess game itself?

Damn, this looks so good. Need to have a proper look at it.

Super cool 🚀

If devs are building with it for fun, the utility will follow. That's the pattern with every model generation that actually stuck.
